A2 Certificate of Competency (A2 CofC)

Having an A2 Certificate of Competency (A2 CofC) offers several benefits for drone operators in the UK:

1. Expanded Flying Privileges: With an A2 CofC, you can fly your drone in the A2 (Open) sub-category. This means you can operate in more demanding locations and closer to uninvolved people (within 50 meters) compared to the standard rules.

2. Commercial Use: If you plan to use your drone for commercial purposes (such as aerial photography, surveying, or inspections), the A2 CofC allows you to do so legally. It opens up opportunities for professional drone services.

3. Enhanced Skills: The A2 CofC course covers essential topics related to drone safety, flight principles, and regulations. By completing the course, you’ll gain valuable knowledge and skills that contribute to safer and more responsible flying.

4. Confidence and Compliance: Holding an A2 CofC demonstrates your commitment to responsible drone operation. It boosts your confidence as a pilot and ensures compliance with legal requirements.

Remember, responsible drone flying benefits everyone, from ensuring safety to respecting privacy and airspace regulations. Happy flying! 🚁✨.
