There are indeed different laws in the EU.
Unfortunately Belgium has one of the worst.
They have created 3 categories.
Category 3 :
domestic use, in your own backyard, hight limited to 10meters
Category 2:
non professional use, height up to 45meters
you need a license to fly and your drone needs to be registrated (cost € 1250 for the course and € 500 registration fee per drone)
category 1b:
professional use non high risk
flight altitude limited to 96 meters
need for license (cost € 2500 and € 500 registration fee)
category 1a :
thes same as 1b but high risk (flying of crowds), price is the same but much more paper work (logbook, etc) before you can start flying and only allowed with drones with more than 4 props.
All these course can be followed in aviation schools. Meaning this is serious stuff. More or less the things a pilot of a small aircraft needs to know.
So yes, it will be almost impossible to fly without a license. That is, if the police will follow this law. My guess is that as long you fly using your common sense, no one will take action. But there will always be stupid people doing stupid things, thereby making it worse for the rest of us !!
Although they claim that everything in the EU should be the same, not so with this law.
No need for a license in France, Germany, Greece, etc.
Only one thing to do, get a license |
