The XAG P100 Pro is a modular agricultural drone that switches between spraying and spreading using quick-change payloads. It is used by UK operators working through XAG's distributor and operator networks, and like any aircraft in this class it is bought as part of a wider package of training, support and permissions rather than on its own.
Key specifications
- Payload: Around 50 kg
- Spray system: RevoSpray with centrifugal atomisers, droplet size 60 to 400 microns, flow 0.3 to 6 litres per minute
- Spread system: RevoCast for granular products such as seed and fertiliser
- Top speed: Around 13.8 metres per second
- Build: IPX7 water resistance with tool-free payload swaps
Specifications are manufacturer figures and may change. Confirm current details with a UK dealer before buying.
What it is used for
The P100 Pro is designed for flexibility. The same airframe sprays liquids through rotary atomisers, which give fine control over droplet size, and spreads granular products with a separate cast unit. That makes it appealing to operators who want to offer more than one service.
As with any spray drone, the nozzle type and flow range matter for drift control and product suitability. The detail that decides a job is whether the product, rate and site genuinely suit aerial application, not the airframe alone.
The UK permissions reality
The P100 Pro is well over the 25 kg limit of the standard PDRA01 permission, so a UK operator needs a bespoke CAA Operational Authorisation built on a Specific Operations Risk Assessment, alongside the General VLOS Certificate.
For pesticide work the same rule applies as for any drone: spraying plant protection products from the air requires a Health and Safety Executive permit for an approved plan. Spreading and mapping are less restricted, so be clear about the services you plan to sell.
Questions for a UK dealer
Ask about the UK support route: training, spares, calibration, software updates and who you call when a pump, nozzle, spreader or controller fault stops work in a weather window.
If you join an operator network, ask exactly what it provides and expects, including standards, responsibilities, lead handling and how customers are passed to you.
Before you buy
Map your intended jobs, the products involved, the support you need and the permissions you can realistically hold before committing.
Talk to existing XAG operators about reliability, running costs and the reality of UK support before you buy.

Frequently asked questions
What is the XAG P100 Pro used for?
UK listings associate it with spraying, spreading and seeding. Its modular payloads let one airframe cover liquid application and granular spreading, subject to the product, rate and site being suitable.
Does the XAG P100 Pro need a CAA authorisation?
Yes. It is heavier than 25 kg, so a custom Operational Authorisation based on a risk assessment is required to operate commercially, along with a General VLOS Certificate as the baseline pilot qualification.
Can the XAG P100 Pro spray pesticides in the UK?
Only with a Health and Safety Executive permit, because pesticide application by drone is treated as aerial spraying. Granular spreading and mapping face fewer restrictions.
How big is the XAG P100 Pro tank?
Configurations vary, but it is built around roughly a 50 kg payload with a RevoSpray liquid system and a separate RevoCast unit for granular products. Confirm the exact current specification with the supplier.
