EASA A1/A3 drone exam in Lithuania: official portal, registration and prep

If you live in Lithuania or want a Lithuanian-issued A1/A3 proof, the exam route starts with the official Transport Competence Agency certificate portal, not with a private training marketplace. The rules you study are still EASA Open-category rules; the issuing portal is national.

The official Lithuanian route

EASA lists Lithuania under its national aviation authority directory and links the country's online pilot training and tests to the Transport Competence Agency certificate portal at sertifikatai.tka.lt.

The public portal offers a foreign-login path and an English interface. That is enough to identify the official entry point. The public page does not publish a reliable open-text price or full exam-language list, so treat those as portal-side details to confirm after login rather than facts to assume from third-party sites.

Start here:

What A1/A3 proves

The A1/A3 proof confirms that you completed the online training and passed the theoretical exam for the A1 and A3 Open-category subcategories. EASA describes the same route across member states: online training first, then an online theoretical exam.

That proof is about pilot competence. It does not decide where you may fly in Vilnius, Kaunas, Klaipeda or near an airport. Before flying, you still need to check Lithuanian geographical zones, local restrictions and any operator-registration requirement that applies to your situation.

How dronelingo fits

dronelingo does not issue the Lithuanian certificate. It prepares you for the EASA A1/A3 theory before you use the official portal.

Use it for:

  • Open-category rules and subcategories
  • operator versus remote-pilot responsibilities
  • VLOS, height limits and distance rules
  • airspace and geographical-zone logic
  • exam-style practice before the official test

Then take the official Lithuanian exam through TKA. If you already hold a valid A1/A3 proof from Latvia or another EASA state, do not assume you need to repeat it; check whether the Lithuanian portal or authority asks only for recognition or upload in your specific case.

What to check before flying in Lithuania

The certificate is portable across the EASA area. The local flight checks are not.

Before the first flight in Lithuania, confirm:

  • your operator registration is valid for the operation
  • the aircraft is marked with the operator number where required
  • the location is outside restricted or permission-only zones
  • the operation stays inside the Open category
  • insurance requirements and local conditions are satisfied

If you are comparing countries before choosing where to take the exam, use the EU-wide A1/A3 exam portal directory. If you are preparing for the theory, start with the A1/A3 course, then drill practice questions before opening the official portal.

Frequently asked questions

+Where is the official A1/A3 drone exam portal for Lithuania?

EASA links Lithuania's online pilot training and tests to the Transport Competence Agency certificate portal at sertifikatai.tka.lt.

+Can I use dronelingo if I take the exam in Lithuania?

Yes. dronelingo prepares the EASA A1/A3 theory topics; the final certificate still has to be issued through the official Lithuanian portal.

+Is a Lithuanian A1/A3 proof valid in Latvia?

Yes. A1/A3 remote pilot competency issued by an EASA member state is recognised across the EASA area, but local airspace and operator-registration checks still apply.
