How to become a pilot

The A1/A3 category, called the Kompetenznachweis, requires a 20 franc online exam, with a minimum age of 12. The A2 category, called the Fernpilotenzeugnis, also costs 20 francs but requires an in-person proctored exam, with practical skills self-studied against BAZL checklists.

All renewals cost a flat 20 francs regardless of how many certificates a pilot holds.

About the regulation

Civil drone operation in Switzerland is regulated by the Federal Office of Civil Aviation (BAZL/FOCA/OFAC) under EU Regulation 2019/947, incorporated through a 1999 bilateral air transport agreement with the EU rather than EEA membership like Norway. Registration costs a flat 10 Swiss francs through the dLIS portal and has unlimited validity across all EASA states.
