FAQ n.116466

The general rule mandates that the minimum age for remote pilots of drones in the ‘open’ and ’specific’ categories is 16 years old. However, there are exceptions. There is no minimum age for remote-pilot requirements:

1. for flying in Subcategory A1 with a Class 0 drone;
2. for flying with a privately-built drone weighing below 250 g; or
3. for flying under the direct supervision of a remote pilot that has met the competency requirements — see the following link for more details on training: Open Category - Low Risk - Civil Drones | EASA (europa.eu).
