Why prepare for CATS?
CATS concerns pilots operating in the Specific category, especially under European standard scenarios. It demonstrates a theoretical level aligned with aviation safety requirements.

Drone pilot theoretical preparation
CATS drone training focused on understanding
CATS requires more than memorising answers. The remote pilot must understand European rules, analyse an operational situation, identify risks and make a safe decision. EuroDrone Connect structures this learning with courses, quizzes, mock exams and detailed explanations.
Who is this preparation for?
It is for student pilots, active professionals, photographers, videographers, operators, training centres and former CATT holders who want to align with the European framework.
What EuroDrone Connect provides
The platform combines structured courses, quiz training, timed mock exams, statistics, an AI assistant and mission preparation tools to connect theory with the field.

CATS preparation connected to real operations
Theory becomes useful when it helps prepare a real mission: weather, UAS zone, aeronautical chart, NOTAM, RTBA, drone used, briefing, third-party safety and go/no-go decision.
EuroDrone Connect was designed around this logic: learn, pass, prepare and fly safely.
EuroDrone Connect does not issue the official CATS.
The platform prepares you for the exam and strengthens your operational culture. The official exam remains organised by competent bodies under the applicable regulatory framework.
