The main changes for the future European regulations of UAS are:

1. European regulations apply to any unmanned aircraft (drone) regardless of its use (professional or recreational). In addition, after the entry into force of the new EASA Base Regulation (Regulation (EU) 2018/1139), all drones and operations with them are the responsibility of EASA (European Aviation Safety Agency), regardless of their weight;

2. It creates a interoperable operator registration at the community level and the requirements for remote direct electronic identification of drones;

3. They are defined three categories operational based on the operation risk: 'open', 'specific' and 'certified', although the standard recently adopted by the European Commission mainly covers the 'open' and 'specific' categories;

4. They must designate competent authorities for the different fields of application;

5. The specific parameters that must contain aeronautical safety studies;

6. The conditions for the cross-border operations or in a Member State other than the operator's registry;

7. It is attributed greater importance to the supervision of certain operations by the Bodies and Security Forces;

8. The air Transport and the swarms;

9. The autonomous operations (without pilot intervention);

10. The provisions relating to product requirements, as well as privacy, and protection of data and the environment;

11. A new approach is established in relation to the remote pilot training;

12. A new approach is presented for model airplanes and airplanes clubs or associations;

13. Different procedures and requirements are defined for the authorization of operators and for the authorization of operations;

14. The concept of Luc ('Light UAS operator Certificate') as a mechanism to grant certain privileges to drone operators who have demonstrated their competence before the civil aviation authority;

15. A new scheme is defined according to the category of the operation for the minimum age of remote pilots, including their supervision;

16. A medical certificate for remote pilots ('open' and 'specific' categories);

17. The door to future regulation on the subject of U-Space / UTM.
