Private drone insurance

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

• a drone insurance for your requirements
• a European registration number which you receive when you register as UAV operator
• if necessary, a training certificate or a “drone pilot license”
• if necessary, a permit to fly, in the case you have a special flight plan.

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.
