FAQ – questions and answers about proof of knowledge / drone driving license
Who needs a certificate of proof / drone driver's license?
Due to the new regulation for drone flights, which was approved by the Federal Ministry, a proof of knowledge for the operation of all drones from 2 kg (including payload) is required, if they are not exclusively for the purpose of sports or leisure activities. Without the »proof of knowledge for the operation of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) according to §21d LuftVO« – or also briefly »drone driver’s license« – drone flights are no longer permitted.
How old do you have to be for the certificate of proof / drone driving license?
The SYSWE drone driver’s license is valid for a minimum age of 16 years. If you are still a minor, a declaration of consent from the legal representative is required at the time of registration.
Can the certificate of proof / drone driving license be completed by private and commercial pilots?
In principle, every pilot, whether private or commercial, can register for the SYSWE Drone Driving License exam. In addition to amateur pilots, drones are also increasingly used in the commercial sector – photographers and filmmakers, the police, fire and mountain rescue, in forestry, in public authorities and communities, but also in the military and the monitoring of industrial plants. Each person can complete the proof of knowledge / drone driving license according to § 21d LuftVO at SYSWE, regardless of their assignment. We recommend our VdS training drone operator for the commercial use of a drone.
How does the exam work?
The exam questions are answered in writing in the multiple-choice procedure. There may be multiple answer options per question. A question is considered answered when all appropriate correct answers have been ticked. Partial points are not awarded. Your examiner will brief you in the course of the exam and answer all questions.
Which topics are queried during the exam?
The following topics are queried in the exam:
- Air Law (18 points out of a maximum score of 23 points must be achieved in order to pass this topic)

The exam is passed for the participant if at least 75% of the maximum marks have been achieved in each subject area.
What are the fines for a drone flight without proof of knowledge?
The fine catalog for drone flights without proof of knowledge is not yet mature, therefore, no binding statements can be made. However, fines of between € 500 and € 1,500 have already been imposed for illegal drone flights in the past, so that a drone flight without drone driving license / proof of knowledge from 1 October 2017 can assume a similar price structure.
When will the result be communicated to me?
You will receive your result at the end of the exam. The certificate of proof of knowledge will be handed out to you immediately after the successful examination. If this is not feasible for certain reasons, the certificate of proof of knowledge will be sent by post within a few days. Your examiner will be happy to see you, if you have passed the exam! If it did not work, then it is no shame to compete a second time!
How long is the certificate of proof / drone driving license valid?
The proof of knowledge / drone driving license must be renewed every 5 years.
