As you may know, with the entry into force of the new European Regulation 2021 for drones (UAS), there have been several changes to the pilot training system:
Both to pass the official AESA exam and to be able to fly safely, you will need to have a general knowledge of UAS, regulations or operational procedures. Don’t forget that a drone is an aircraft and, as such, must be flown responsibly.
In our Open Category or Specific Category UAS Pilot courses, you will learn everything you need to know and we will guide you through the process of registering as a UAS Pilot with AESA to obtain the minimum certificate required:
UAS Pilot
BASIC LEVEL 1
A1/A3
To fly drones up to 25 kg (classes C0 – C4), subcategories A1 and A3 in open category.
UAS Pilot
BASIC LEVEL 2
A2
To fly drones up to 4 kg (class C2), subcategory A2 in open category.
UAS Pilot
PROFESSIONAL
LEVEL 3
To operate drones up to 25 kg (classes C5 and C6), under a standard scenario of the specific category (STS-01 for VLOS and STS-02 for BVLOS).
Level 1 – A1/A3
The theoretical part of the course lasts 5 days (together with Level 2 – A2 course), with guided classes from 17:00 to 20:00. In addition, you have the option of attending in person (classes with reduced seating capacity according to COVID-19 security protocol) or following the instructor’s explanation live over the Internet.
Likewise, all the course material will be available on our virtual platform so that you can study it in detail and from wherever you want.
And to ensure that you understand the contents, you will take different progress tests that will also serve as a simulation for the final A1/A3 AESA exam.
The topics you will learn during the theoretical part of the UAS Level 1 Course are:
→ Air safety.
→ Airspace restrictions.
→ Aviation regulations.
→ Human Factors limitations.
→ Operational procedures.
→ General knowledge of UAS.
→ Privacy and Data Protection.
→ Insurances.
→ Physical security.
The AESA exam, which consists of 40 multiple-choice questions, will focus on the subject matter studied and will assess the acquired knowledge that will enable you to safely operate your drone.
Level 2 – A2
The topics you will learn during the theoretical part of the UAS Level 2 Course are:
→ Meteorology.
→ UAS Flight Performance.
→ Technical and operational ground risk mitigations.
The AESA Level 2 exam consists of 30 multiple-choice questions, which will assess the knowledge acquired.
The theory lasts 5 days (together with Level 1 – A1/A3 course), with guided classes from 17:00 to 20:00, in which you can also choose to attend in person or follow the instructor’s explanation live via the Internet.
In addition, as in Level 1, all the course material will be available on our virtual platform and you will take different progress tests that will serve as a simulation for the final A2 AESA exam.
To obtain the Level 2 – A2 certificate, AESA requires self-certification of certain hours of practice, as well as a perfect knowledge of the drone user manual.
In the practical part of our UAS Level 2 Basic Course, in addition to receiving support in the process and the preparation of documentation, you will learn safety and avoidance manoeuvres that will allow you to take your skills as a pilot further.
✓ For the Basic Course Level 1 – A1/A3 all you need is to be over 16 years old. You don’t need any previous experience, no medical certificate, nor do you need to have your own drone (although it is recommended).
✓ For the Basic Course Level 2 – A2 the only requirement is to have the Level 1 certificate.
