25 questions. 6 topics. Find every gap.

These 3 questions covered one topic each. The full diagnostic runs 25 questions across all 6 exam areas: air law, airspace, drone classes, meteorology, technical knowledge, and safety. No explanations, just a clear picture of where to focus your study time.

4 to 5 questions per topic. 6 topics. 25 total.

Each topic maps directly to the official EASA exam structure. You get 4 to 5 questions per area: enough to reveal gaps, not enough to learn from. That is by design.

5 Q

Air law and EU regulations

EU 2019/947, Open and Specific Category definitions, operator registration, and national authority requirements across 31 EASA member states.

4 Q

Airspace and restricted zones

Controlled airspace types, prohibited and restricted areas, U-space, altitude limits, and how to verify authorisation before flight.

4 Q

Drone classes and registration

C0 to C4 classification, CE marking, weight categories, operator registration, and remote identification requirements.

4 Q

Meteorology for drone pilots

Wind effects, visibility minimums, turbulence, icing, density altitude, and reading weather reports for UAS operations.

4 Q

Technical knowledge and flight performance

Drone aerodynamics, battery limits, GPS and GNSS, obstacle avoidance, emergency procedures, and A2 self-declared practical requirements.

4 Q

Safety, privacy and insurance

GDPR and data protection, third-party liability insurance, operational risk, and human performance factors.

Why no explanations?

The diagnostic's only job is to show you where your gaps are. If you score 2/4 on meteorology and 5/5 on air law, you know exactly where to spend your study time. The explanations, the learning content, and the timed mock exam are what you get inside the EU Drone Port course.

Questions about the diagnostic and the exam

What is a diagnostic test and how is it different from a practice exam?

A diagnostic shows you where your knowledge gaps are before you start studying. You get 25 questions across 6 topics and a correct or incorrect result for each, with no explanations. The point is to identify which areas need work, not to learn the answers. A full practice mock exam with timed conditions and explanations is what you get inside the EU Drone Port course.

Why doesn't the diagnostic include answer explanations?

Because a diagnostic's job is to reveal gaps, not to teach. If we gave you the full explanation for every answer, you would be reading a study guide, not taking a diagnostic. The explanations, examples, and mock exam are what the course delivers. The diagnostic's value is a clear, honest picture of where you stand before you open a textbook.

Can I pass the exam just by studying the diagnostic questions?

No, and that is intentional. The diagnostic has only 4 to 5 questions per topic: enough to expose gaps, not enough to prepare you. The official A1/A3 exam draws from a large question bank. The EU Drone Port course covers every topic in full depth and includes the timed mock exam that replicates real exam conditions.

How many questions are in the real A1/A3 exam?

The official A1/A3 theory exam has 40 questions. You need at least 75% (30 correct) to pass. The exam is taken online through your national Civil Aviation Authority's platform after completing an accredited theory course.

How many questions are in the A2 exam?

The A2 theory exam has 30 questions, with a 75% pass mark (23 correct). You must already hold the A1/A3 drone pilot certificate before registering. The A2 also requires a self-declared practical flight experience component.

Where do I take the official exams?

Both exams are taken online through your national Civil Aviation Authority. In Spain that is AESA, in Germany the LBA, in France the DGAC, and so on. You register directly on their platform. Our courses prepare you fully for the content and format you will encounter there.

Are the pilot certificates valid in all EU countries?

Yes. EASA drone pilot certificates are recognised across all 31 EASA member states: every EU country plus Norway, Iceland, Liechtenstein and Switzerland. You earn it once, and it is valid everywhere in Europe.
