FAQs I have been tasked with establishing my organisations Drone Unit but I don’t plan on piloting the aircraft myself, should I attend the course? Although it is advisable for any person who has command and control over pilots to attend the course, it is not a mandatory requirement. It is, however, beneficial to gain a knowledge of the regulations applicable to the use of such aircraft, as well as a familiarity of the planning process and aircraft capability. This is important when placed in charge of the assets and making decisions as to their deployment. How many people do I need to necessitate a bespoke course? Each course will be assessed on a case-by-case basis and we will provide a quotation upon request. This will enable you to make an informed decision on whether a bespoke course is right for you. What sort of facilities do you require if we want you to deliver a course at our location? Ideally, we would require a room which can comfortably seat the number of students.
