There are a number of drone training options that cover everything from recreational flying to professional courses that will get you qualifications such as the CAA’s A2 Certificate of Competency. Recently-introduced regulations can be difficult to keep-up with, so why not contact a Drone Training Company through the AvPay Drone Training Directory, to guide you through the process? In the UK there are 3 main drone flight categories, that UAV operations can fall in to: Open Category, Specific Category and Certified Category. Open Category includes drone flying at low level, which poses little or no risk to 3rd parties. Specific Category includes flying that presents a greater risk to 3rd parties than the Open Category and for this type of drone flying, you’ll need an Operational Authorisation from the CAA. The Certified Category includes flight that presents an equivalent risk to 3rd parties, to that of manned-aircraft. In order to get a drone license, you’ll need to complete a General Visual Line of Sight Certificate (GVC) course.
