Which category encompasses more risk than Open A1 and A3?

Open A2
Specific
Certified
Open A3

The correct answer is: Open A2

The category that encompasses more risk than Open A1 and A3 is Open A2. The Open A2 category is designed for drone operations where the pilot can fly closer to people but must adhere to stricter regulations and restrictions than those in Open A1 and A3. In Open A1, drones can be flown over people, but the operation must be low risk, generally involving lighter drones. Open A3 operations take place in areas where there are no people present, minimizing risk. In contrast, Open A2 allows for operations in closer proximity to people, increasing potential risk, thereby necessitating further qualifications and adherence to safety measures. Understanding the risk associated with each category helps in recognizing how regulations are formulated to mitigate hazards for both operators and the public.
