Air 3 is A3 flight only, unless you take the A2CofC exam and pass then you can fly A2 but only for 2 years and then your A3 again. Unless new rules come in. To be honest Im not sure why you would want to upgrade the Mini 3 Pro to either of these drones, there is very minimal improvement over the Mini 3.
Also if you only fly for fun then Article 16 rules might suite you better but they involves going one of the two clubs like FPVUK.org
Direct from CAA CAP722 document.
• A1 (fly 'over' people) - Operations in subcategory A1 can be conducted within
'congested' areas (as defined in section 2.1.8) and may be carried out over uninvolved people (other than A1 transitional UAS), but not assemblies of people. Any overflight of people should be avoided if possible and kept to a minimum. Operations must be conducted with a:
• UAS less than 250g, that is privately built or placed on the market before 1 Jan 2026 (under the 'Legacy' provisions); or
• A1 Transitional UAS with a mass less than 500g, provided the remote pilot holds an A2 CofC certificate as described in section 5.2.3.1, and does not overfly uninvolved people - only until 01 January 2026.
• A2 (Fly 'close to' people) (under the transitional provisions) - Operations in subcategory A2 can be conducted 'near' people with a minimum horizontal distance of 50 metres from uninvolved persons. The remote pilot must have successfully A2 Certificate of Competence.
