DJI Air 2S's New Firmware Adds Support for EU C1 Certification
DJI has released a new firmware update for the drone Air 2S . The software package brings good news for users who want to get a class C1 identification label for their aircraft under the new European drone regulations.
The C1 certificate for the Air 2S offers several advantages to drone users. Operators will be able to fly in the A1 Open category and will no longer have to pass the complex and expensive A2 “Remote Pilot License” exam. They will have more freedom to fly in environments they were restricted to without the C1 certificate – unless they obtain special permission after a further lengthy administrative process.
The C1 label application process is part of the latest aircraft firmware v02.04.27.00. In addition to adding support for EU C1 certification, the firmware helps users comply with the Remote ID requirements of some countries and regions. It also provides users with the ability to reset all settings and erase all aircraft data.
For C1 certification, first make sure the DJI Fly App is up to date (version 1.13.0 or higher). Then connect the Air 2S and update it to the latest firmware. Once the firmware is updated, a pop-up will take you directly to the C1 label application—just tap “Apply.” You can also choose “Not Now” to continue the 2-minute process later in the Customer Support area of the app under “Class C1 Identification Label.” Simply fill out the short application form and submit; your C1 label will arrive by letter shortly.
DJI has also released compatible remote controller firmware as follows:
- RC-N1 Remote Controller: v04.12.02.00
- DJI RC Remote Controller: v01.03.1300
- DJI RC Pro Remote Controller: v03.02.0700
