For standard scenarios, the National Aviation Authority is responsible for issuing the
certificates. A certificate for Remote Pilot competency is valid for 5 years. If the
revalidation is conducted before the certificate expires, the remote pilot may attend
a seminar provided by the National Aviation Authority or by an entity recognised by
it, otherwise competencies need to be re-demonstrated.
For operations in the ‘specific’ category that are not covered by standard scenarios,
the training will be defined in the operational authorisation provided by the National
Aviation Authority.
