Rules

This document describes the safety and operational regulations governing our drone races to ensure that participants will have a fair competition in a safe environment. Ignorance of the complete rules does not excuse the pilot!

In Slovakia, EU legislation applies, according to which pilots are required to hold an A1/A3 license, be registered with the Transport Authority - Civil Aviation Authority (UAS Operator Registration), have insurance for liability for damage in the area of drone flights (e.g., Coverdrone), and have a registration number affixed to the drone. (At our DRSK races, the organizer will not check this; it is the responsibility of each pilot). For international FAI races, it is also necessary to have an FAI license for the drone. At FAI races, registration and FAI numbers will be checked!

Competitors must be over 16 years old. In the case of competitors under 16 years of age, the presence of an adult or valid guardian who must have a certificate confirming the registration of a Drone Operator (UAS Operator Registration) at the Civil Aviation Authority will be required during the competition.

All drones starting in the race must meet technical requirements. If a drone does not meet all technical requirements, the pilot will not be allowed to participate in the races with such a drone.

The organizer is not responsible for losses or damages caused by any competitor or spectator. Every competitor is required to have valid insurance for liability for damage caused by drone operation. In the event of a damage claim, the pilot (perpetrator) is obligated to take full responsibility for damage caused to both health and property of people.

Participants under the influence of alcohol and/or other intoxicating substances cannot participate in the competition. In case of doubt about the health condition of the participant, the organizer has the right to deny participation in the competition.

Every pilot at registration for the race confirms by signature consent to these rules, instructions of the flight director, and confirms that they have the necessary experience to participate in the event.
