Exemption from U-Space requirements for UAS under 250g in VLOS

In plain language

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

Requirement as structured

UAS operations with a maximum take-off mass of less than 250 g conducted in visual line of sight (VLOS) are exempt from U-Space requirements.

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.
