Unmanned aviation is undergoing a significant evolution through the Light UAS Operator Certificate (LUC). This certificate is testimony to the highest safety standards, compliance and operational excellence in European airspace.
The significance of the LUC for your company
As a LUC holder, GDDC GmbH simplifies the permit procedures for drone operations. With our Light UAS Operator Certificate (LUC) as the basis, we open up access to flight operations for partners — the thicket of regulatory requirements is simplified.
Cooperation with the Federal Aviation Office
The Federal Aviation Office, as part of the European network of authorities, sets clear requirements for the safe operation of drones. GDDC GmbH's LUC certification stands for compliance with these requirements and for a safety philosophy that goes beyond the basic requirements. On this basis, the LBA grants the privileges within the LUC operating authorisation.
Safety Compliance Management — safety as the top priority
At the heart of every drone operation under the LUC lies a robust Safety Compliance Management system. This fundamental element ensures that all aspects of the drone flights meet the strict safety standards prescribed by EASA and the Federal Aviation Office.
For companies operating under GDDC GmbH's operator certificate, this means a significant reduction of risks and a strengthened basis of trust with customers and authorities. Our safety policy and Compliance Management Plan ensure that every drone operation meets the highest possible safety standards.
The specific operating category
Using the permit in the specific category is decisive for UAS operators seeking to integrate their drones seamlessly into commercial aviation operations. An operator certificate opens the doors to advanced operations — under defined conditions and rules.
For companies with the LUC privilege, the operating category is a benchmark that allows them to act with an Unmanned Aircraft System beyond simple visual flight rules — all the way to operations beyond visual line of sight (BVLOS).
