EASA A2 preparation for beginners

Begin with the open category

Learn the distinction between the operator, who is responsible for the operation, and the remote pilot, who flies the drone. Understand what A1, A2 and A3 mean before learning isolated distance rules. Complete the required A1/A3 training and examination before following the A2 qualification route.

Build three connected areas of knowledge

Weather affects what the aircraft can do. Aircraft performance affects the space and time needed to keep people safe. Study meteorology, flight performance and ground risk as connected subjects. In a lesson about wind, for example, explain what changes near a building and why a forecast alone does not describe every point at the site.

Use short sessions and separate practical preparation

Read one explanation, use its visual and answer a few questions before moving on. Keep a list of terms to revisit. You still need the practical self-training and declaration required for the certificate; reading a lesson or moving a 3D model does not complete that training.

Try the free distance lesson, then follow the A2 study plan.
