EVO Max 4T

Autel Robotics EVO Max 4T specifications and what a UK operator needs to fly it commercially under a PDRA01 operational authorisation.

Published manufacturer specs · UK context

01

Does the EVO Max 4T fit PDRA01?

The Autel Robotics EVO Max 4T has a published maximum take-off mass of 1.999 kg, which is within the 25 kg limit PDRA01 works to. Mass is necessary but not sufficient: whether a given job fits PDRA01 depends on how you fly it — visual line of sight, height, and distance from uninvolved people.

The free route checker asks those operation-level questions and tells you whether your intended flights look suitable for PDRA01, need review, or fall outside it.

03

Flying the EVO Max 4T commercially

Flying commercially under PDRA01 is less about the aircraft and more about the paperwork and permissions around it. In outline you need:

  • CAA Operator ID. Registered to the operator and displayed on the aircraft.
  • Flyer ID + competence certificate. A Flyer ID for the pilot, plus an RPC-L1 or GVC for PDRA01.
  • Insurance. Third-party cover appropriate to the operation.
  • Operations manual & records. A CAP2606-shaped manual plus logs, risk assessment and checklists.

The how to get PDRA01 guide walks through the full sequence.

Practical answers

Frequently asked questions

Can the Autel Robotics EVO Max 4T be used under PDRA01?

Its published maximum take-off mass (1.999 kg) is within the 25 kg limit PDRA01 works to. Mass is only one factor — whether a specific operation fits PDRA01 depends on how and where you fly, which the free route checker assesses.

What do I need to fly the EVO Max 4T commercially in the UK?

For a PDRA01 operation you need a CAA Operator ID displayed on the aircraft, a Flyer ID and a remote pilot certificate (RPC-L1 or GVC) for the pilot, suitable insurance, and an operations manual with supporting records.

Are these EVO Max 4T specifications exact?

They are published manufacturer figures and a starting point. Confirm them against your own airframe, firmware and battery before relying on them — variants and firmware caps differ.
