For operation falling under the ‘specific’ category, the training depends on the
operation you intend to conduct. So unless the operation falls into a standard
scenario, after the risk assessment, you will need to propose a possible training
course to the National Aviation Authority. The authority will, in each case, evaluate
the adequacy of the training, and if they confirm it in the operational authorisation,
the training will become the required training.
If your operation falls into a standard scenario, the remote pilot must:
- hold a certificate of remote pilot theoretical knowledge for operation under standard scenarios;
- hold an accreditation of completion of the STS-01 practical skill training.
To do so, the remote pilot must complete and successfully pass an online training
course.
Both the certificate and accreditation can be issued by a competent authority or an
entity chosen to do so.
