The EU allowed Russian citizens to fly drones and study to become private pilots PPL

Hello,

There was a time when I loved flying a drone. I approached the topic seriously and got confused with all the insurance and licenses to fly to the Russian Federation and the EU. At that time I had a DJI Mavic Air 2.

I even wrote an article here Flying a drone legally. Then the article aroused great interest and for several years I was asked in direct messages about the nuances.

In March 2022, I received a letter from the LBA (German Air Transport Department) about the ban on the operation of drones in the EU (I mainly filmed my tourist creations there).

Then my wonderful drone Mavic Second, a gift from my wife, went under the hammer on Avito, and all the flights became only in a dream, and for others – on YouTube.

Today I received a letter about changes in sanctions (Google Translate):

Two key changes for Russian citizens:

1. You can now fly light aircraft and study to become a private pilot (PPL).

2. You can now fly a private drone.

Have a nice flight, from the propeller!
