REMOTE PILOT COMPETENCIES REQUIRED TO OBTAIN A CERTIFICATE OF REMOTE PILOT COMPETENCY

A remote pilot may obtain the additional theoretical knowledge that is needed to pass the additional theoretical examination for a certificate of remote pilot competency via competency-based training that covers aspects related to non-technical skills in an integrated manner, taking into account the particular risks associated with UAS operations. Competency-based training should be developed using the analysis, design, development, implementation, and evaluation (ADDIE) principles.

The competency may be acquired by one of the following two ways:

(a) Self-study, such as:

(1) reading the manual or leaflet provided by the UA manufacturer;

(2) reading related information or watching instructional films; and

(3) obtaining information from others who have already experience in flying a UA.

(b) Study in a training facility.

A remote pilot may also undertake this study as classroom training, e-learning or similar training at a training facility. Since this training is not mandated by the UAS Regulation, the national aviation authorities (NAAs) are not required to approve the training syllabi.
