A1/A3 vs A2 vs STS
Which qualification fits your drone and the way you fly.
| A1/A3 | A2 | STS | |
|---|---|---|---|

| Who it's for | Beginners and most consumer drones — hobby flying. | Flying closer to people in built-up areas. | Standardised advanced operations, including beyond visual line of sight. |
