Registration of UAS operator
An operator-ID is required if operating an UAS:
- with a MTOM of 250 g or more
- equipped with a sensor able to capture personal data (eg. a camera)
An operator ID issued in an EU member state is valid in any EU member state. UAS operators shall register themselves in the Member State where they have their residence for natural persons or where they have their principal place of business for legal persons and ensure that their registration information is accurate. An UAS operator cannot be registered in more than one European Union Member State at a time.
The operator ID shall be displayed on the UAS in a way that the number is readable at least when the UA is on the ground, without using other devices than eyeglasses or corrective lenses. A QR code may be used.
The full string, which consists of the UAS operator registration number and the three (3) randomly generated alphanumerics, shall be uploaded into the electronic identification system, if available.
If the size of the UAS does not allow the mark to be displayed in a visible way on the fuselage, a marking inside the battery compartment is acceptable if the compartment is accessible.
