Klasa C0 w 2026 roku

In 2026 C0-class drones (MTOM below 250 g) remain the lightest-regulated tier under EASA Delegated Regulation EU 2019/945. No operator registration is required if the aircraft has no camera and is not a toy.

However, many popular mini-drone models now include integrated cameras — which can remove the sub-250 g exemption depending on national transposition. Always verify your specific model's class before assuming no registration is needed.

Znakowanie i identyfikacja

Even C0 aircraft used in public spaces may need to display the operator's registration number under national rules. Poland follows the standard EASA implementation.

Broadcast Remote ID is not yet mandatory for legacy C0 aircraft in 2026, but newer C1 and above aircraft must already have it. Check the technical documentation of your specific drone model.

Kiedy A1/A3 jest nadal wymagany

A1/A3 competency is required when: the aircraft MTOM is ≥250 g; the aircraft is C0 with a camera and the national rules trigger registration; or you intend to fly in a geo-zone that mandates a certificate.

W praktyce wiele popularnych dronów sprzedawanych jako drony o wadze poniżej 250 g jest wyposażonych w kamery i nadal może wymagać rejestracji operatora w Polsce. Pełny opis rejestracji znajdziesz na /blog/drone-operator-registration-eu.

Geo-zones apply regardless of weight

Sub-250 g aircraft are not exempt from geo-zone restrictions. Restricted zones (R) and prohibited zones (P) apply regardless of drone weight. Always check utm.ans.lt before every flight.

Around Warszawa, Kraków and other major cities, CTR zones require ATC permission. Flying a 200 g drone in a prohibited zone is still a regulatory infringement.

Can I fly a sub-250 g drone anywhere without restrictions?

No. Geo-zone and airspace restrictions apply regardless of weight. Check utm.ans.lt before every flight.

My DJI Mini 4 Pro is under 250 g — do I need to register?

The Mini 4 Pro has a camera, which may trigger registration requirements under Polish ULC rules. Check utm.ans.lt and ULC guidance for the current national interpretation of C0 camera drones.
