Where can I find the information relating to the serial number of chassis, Flight Control System and Ground Control Station which are necessary for the registration of my drone?

It is possible to obtain the information relating to the serial code of the drone frame from the box in which it is contained at the time of purchase, under the barcode, or on the battery or in the battery compartment after having extracted it. As for the serial codes of the Flight Control System and the Ground Control Station, they can be obtained from the APP that is supplied with the drone (generally in the settings menu, in the "About" item). If these data are not available in the APP, we recommend that you contact the manufacturer.

In this case, after 48 hours, the server will automatically remove the data and you can proceed with a new accreditation.

How do I reset my password?

You can find a guide on the password reset procedure at this link

If I have not sent the identity documents necessary to complete the upgrade as an operator user, what happens?

The registration procedure as a UAS Operator is complete only after receipt and verification of the documentation proving the identity. Remember to send all required documents attached to registration@pre.d-flight.it. The list of required documents is sent to the user at the time of upgrade to the operator, on the mailbox used by the user for registration.

What to do in the case of Public Administrations?

Public Administrations can refer to the procedure on user manual (section 1.2.2).

Ignore the renewal invitation contained in the email notification of upcoming subscription expiration.

What's a QR Code?

The UAS Operator QR Code is a two-dimensional barcode used to uniquely identify a UAS Operator and therefore fulfill the recognition obligations provided for by the ENAC regulation.

Which QR code should I apply to the drone according to the new ENAC UAS-IT Regulation?

The QR identification code mentioned in articles 6 and 9 of the Regulation is issued by the D-Flight site, following the registration of the operator, it contains the identification code of the operator according to the EASA nomenclature and is unique for all UAS referring to the operator.

According to European legislation, the identification code will have value in all EU Member States and therefore the operator will be able to operate their UAS without further application of other codes in all EU Member States, subject to compliance with additional local regulations if applicable.

Should the QR code issued to the operator be printed and affixed to all the UAS operated by the same?

Yes, because the QR code contains the identification code of the operator according to the EASA nomenclature.

Who can make the declaration?

The declaration can be done only if:

• The payment of the required fee has been done to ENAC, on ENAC website, according tos https://www.enac.gov.it/sicurezza-aerea/droni/fatturazione-droni
• you are accredited on the d-flight platform
• a PRO Professional subscription is active
• you are registered as a UAS Operator
• your fleet has a non-harmless UAS with an active UAS PRO QR code

What must be done on the d-flight platform to be able to carry out a BVLOS operation? 

After obtaininAfter obtaining the authorization from ENAC for operations in line with the published PDRAs, the operator must:

• From 4 days before the operation and up to a maximum of 24 hours before the start of the operation itself, access the Drone Operation Plan Service to compile and save the UAS operation plan of the specific work session
• Submit the plan of operations in order to verify the absence of overlap with other BVLOS operations. The results of the verification of the absence or presence of overlaps will be communicated in real time by e-mail, by sending an e-mail to the address used for registration on d-flight. NB. In case of overlap with other previously submitted BVLOS operations, it will be necessary to change the date / time of your operation, save it and resubmit it. We remind users that even for the mission modification, the time constraints related to the insertion of the flight plan still remain to be respected: starting from 4 days before the operation and up to a maximum of 24 hours before the start of the operation itself.
• At the time of the flight, it is recommended to activate the DOP and to deactivate it at the end of the flight.

What will the new operator statuses be? 

The new operator statuses will be:

• ACTIVE

• SUSPENDED

• REVOKED

• DELETED

What will the new statuses of the declaration be? 

The new statuses of the operator declaration will be:

• ACTIVE

• SUSPENDED

• REVOKED

• DELETED

What happens if I am already an operator of the D-Flight system when the updates for the new statuses will come? 

If the operator is already present in the system, their status will be automatically updated, assigning them one of the 4 possible statuses.

Can the operator change their status? 

The operator can change their status with the following operations:

• Operator cancellation  the status transits to DELETED and in this status the operator is no longer considered as such in the system; this operation is allowed only if the Operator is in the ACTIVE status. This operation is not permitted if the Operator is in a SUSPENDED or REVOKED status.

• Operator reactivation  an operator in the CANCEL status may at any time request to be re-credited as an Operator. If this operation is successful, he automatically transitions to the ACTIVE status; this operation is allowed only if the Operator is in the CANCELED status or if the user has never previously carried out an Operator Accreditation operation. This operation is not permitted if the Operator is in a SUSPENDED or REVOKED status.

The status of the operator can also change for actions performed by the Authority.

In fact, the Authority, after an internal analysis, can perform the following actions on an operator, who undergoes the change of his status.

The Authority's actions are:

• Operator suspension  the status of the operator transits into SUSPENDED.

• Operator revocation  the status of the operator transits to REVOKED.

• Operator cancellation  the status of the operator transits to DELETED.

How does the status of the declaration change? 

The status of the declaration will always be the same as the status of your operator.
So every time an operator changes status, all the declarations associated with it will also change status in a manner consistent with the operator.

This is always true, except in one case.

In fact, when the operator in the DELETED status requests re-accreditation as an operator, he transits into the ACTIVE status, but his statements will remain in the DELETED status. You will need to create new declarations.

If the operator is in a status other than ACTIVE, what can he do? 

If the operator is in a status other than ACTIVE, he will not be able to perform any operational action with his drones.
