The examination must be undertaken on a computer, with a webcam. It cannot be undertaken with a tablet/phone.

Unless you hold a PfCO / Operational Authorisation and can provide the relevant documents (see above), everybody needs to undertake the self-monitored practical flight training regardless of flight experience.

We can exempt you from the self-monitored practical flight training provided you can provide ALL of the following:

• Valid PfCO / Operational Authorisation
• NQE/RAE Practical Flight Assessment Certificate
• Flight Logs showing at least 2hrs of flight time in the previous 90 days

You are required to obtain a flyer and operator ID prior to flying your aircraft. The operator ID costs £9 annually. You can obtain both here: https://register-drones.caa.co.uk/individual

If you hold a current PFCO/Operational Authorisation, it can be beneficial to also complete the A2 CofC allowing you to operate within the Open Category (Specifically if your aircraft is below 500g).

We will discuss this during the free course, for any more information please download our drone regulations guide.

You will pay each time you need to take the exam, so make sure you complete the course thoroughly.

No, the operations manual is only needed if you go for the GVC, however for some organisations, an operations manual may be appropriate.
