Model with Cx label
Given that almost none of the UASs currently on the market have class identification, and in order to avoid forcing users to acquire one of these UASs quickly, European regulations provide for a transitional arrangement from December 31, 2020.
Note that most non-Cx-labeled aircraft will be classified in category A3 after 01/01/23. The major impact is that you will only be able to fly within 150m of people or buildings.
