About the regulation

Civil drone operation in Italy is regulated by the Ente Nazionale per l'Aviazione Civile (ENAC) under EU Regulation 2019/947 plus the national UAS-IT regulation. Aircraft registration runs through the D-Flight portal, operated by ENAV, while pilot exams run through a separate ENAC Servizi WEB portal.

Confirm current requirements on the authority's official site before you enroll or fly.
