Member State option to lower minimum age

In plain language

Depending on the EU country you are flying in, the local government might have lowered the minimum age (down to 12 for the Open category, or 14 for the Specific category).

Requirement as structured

Member States may lower the minimum age for remote pilots by up to 4 years in the ‘open’ category and by up to 2 years in the ‘specific’ category.

Original regulatory text

Member States may lower the minimum age following a risk-based approach taking into account specific risks associated with the operations in their territory: (a) for remote pilots operating in the ‘open’ category by up to 4 years; (b) for remote pilots operating in the ‘specific’ category by up to 2 years.
