U-Space Exemption for Sub-250g VLOS Operations

In plain language

If your drone weighs less than 250 grams and you fly it within your line of sight (VLOS), you do not need to comply with U-Space requirements.

Requirement as structured

UAS operators are not required to meet U-Space requirements when conducting VLOS operations with unmanned aircraft having a maximum take-off mass of less than 250 grams.

Original regulatory text

poiché le operazioni con aeromobili senza equipaggio con una massa massima al decollo inferiore a 250 g eseguite entro la distanza di visibilità (VLOS, visual line of sight) presentano rischi contenuti, agli operatori UAS non è richiesto di soddisfare i requisiti dello U-Space in relazione a tali operazioni.
