DMO customers fly under association regulations

Simplified regulation for drone pilots

Due to our cooperation with the MFSD (Modellflugsportverband Deutschland), DMO customers will fly under association regulations! That means: If you operate your drone only in Germany and if it has under 2 kg take-off weight, you will neither need a training certificate nor an EU proof of competence (“drone pilot license”). If your drone has more than 2 kg take-off weight, a training certificate will be sufficient. You do not need to get a training certificate. Apart from that, you will not need to keep the minimum distance of 150 m to residential estates, in contrast to the open operation category in the EU proof of competence.

We at DMO are not simply your insurers.

As an insurance intermediary with permission according to § 34d (1) GewO (German Trade Regulation Act) we provide you with a drone owner liability insurance tailored precisely to your requirements.

Apart from that, you will always have a dedicated contact partner at your side. From the current drone regulations to the precise prerequisites and requirements for drone pilots: We always keep you up-to-date and are happy to answer your questions.

In case of a claim, we are at your side and take care of the settlement.

Frequent questions and answers regarding drones

Before you can start to navigate a drone, you need the following:

We are happy to answer any questions about the conditions for operating a drone.

Since August 10th 2005, a model owner liability insurance for all model planes, copters and drones (so-called UAVs, unpiloted aerial vehicles) is required by law, regardless of their take-off weight. (§ 33, 37, 43.2 LuftVG (German Air Traffic Act)! Drone pilots need a real aircraft insurance which includes an absolute liability. With our drone insurance, we fulfill the mandatory legal requirements for the private, voluntary and commercial use of drones. We offer you the best tariff for your requirements!

 

Even if you are doing voluntary work, you will still need a drone insurance for fawn rescue with a drone with thermographic camera.

 

Our drone liability insurances start at 39,96 € per year. We are happy to advise you regarding the perfect insurance for your needs.

That depends on your flight plans!

 

For private flights in Germany with drones under 2 kg and under 120 m flight height, DMO customers will not need a training certificate.

 

For anything outside that range, you will need a training certificate (replaces the proof of knowledge of 2017) from the MFSD. This costs 27 € and is valid for 5 years.

 

For flights in other European countries and for a take-off weight of 250 gr or more, you need the proof of competence A1/A3 of the LBA (Luftfahrt Bundesamt). This costs 25 € and is also valid for 5 years.

 

For commercial drone flights you always need a proof of competence.
