NZ Professional Pilot Certificate Course (Part 102)
$998.00
Introduction
This course is designed to equip you with all of the knowledge and skills required to safely operate as a professional UAV pilot in New Zealand
The course is broken up into two sections.
First is the Part 101 section that will teach you everything you need to know about safely operating your drone within the CAA Part 101 drone rules. This section is important because all drone pilots must have knowledge of airspace when operating within close proximity of airports. This will be covered in detail later in the course.
The second section covers the Part 102 requirements which is specific to professional drone pilots operating for an individual or organisation who has a Unmanned Air Operators Certificate (UAOC).
After completing the online theory component you will be prompted to book your practical flight assessment. We have a network of highly experienced flight examiners located throughout the country.
This video gives a detailed description of the flight assessment requirements.
