The A2 CofC enables operators of small drones to fly close to people. It permits the following:

• A2 Transitional Aircraft: A Transitional Period has been introduced in the UK, running from now until an extended date of up to January 1, 2026. During this time, an A2 CofC enables operators of drones without a class mark and weighing up to 2kg to fly in the A2 subcategory under Transitional provisions. This stipulates that no flights can be flown closer than 50m horizontally of uninvolved people. This applies to the following DJI aircraft: Mavic 3 Series, Mavic 3 Enterprise Series, Mavic 2 Series, Phantom 4 Series, Phantom 3 Series, and the Mavic Air 2, Air 2S, DI FPV, and DJI Avata Series.

• A1 Transitional Aircraft: Holders of an A2 CofC can operate non-class-marked drones, with a take-off weight of between 250g and 500g, in the A1 subcategory, under A1 Transitional provisions, during the Transitional Period (extended to January 1, 2026). This stipulates that there must not be any intentional flight over uninvolved persons. This applies to the following DJI aircraft: Mavic Air, Spark, and the DJI Mini series if their take-off weight exceeds 250g.
