CAA Drone Theory Practice Test

Passing the CAA drone theory test is specifically designed to certify that a pilot has the knowledge necessary to operate drones within the Open A1 and A3 categories. These categories pertain to various operational limitations and regulations concerning drone flight, such as altitude, proximity to people, and types of airspace in which a drone can operate.

The A1 category allows flying over people, but under specific conditions and with drones that meet weight criteria, while the A3 category generally permits flying in areas free from uninvolved people. Understanding these regulatory frameworks is crucial for safe and legal drone operation.

This certification does not grant unrestricted access to operate in any airspace or engage in commercial activities, nor does it inherently authorize conducting complex flight maneuvers, which often require additional qualifications or certifications depending on the nature of the operation.
