Third-party liability insurance for Open category

In plain language

If you fly in the Open category in Belgium, you must have third-party liability insurance. The only exception is if you fly purely for private/recreational purposes with a drone weighing less than 900g.

Requirement as structured

UAS operators operating exclusively in the 'open' category must hold third-party liability insurance to cover bodily injury and property damage, unless the UAS is used solely for private purposes and has a maximum take-off mass of less than 900 grams.

Original regulatory text

Tout exploitant d'UAS qui effectue exclusivement des exploitations relevant de la catégorie " ouverte " contracte une assurance responsabilité civile pour couvrir les dommages corporels et matériels à des tiers , sauf si elles ne concernent que des UAS utilisés uniquement à des fins privés et dont la masse maximale au décollage est inférieure à 900 grammes.
