The Drone Centre offers hands-on training to equip you with the skills and practical knowledge to produce on-field excellence. We are a DCAA certified RPAS training center and licensed trainers for DJI, SenseFly, and Pix4D products.
Our quality policy is aimed to achieve the highest standards of RPAS operating safety by ensuring the highest possible standard of Aeronautical Knowledge, Risk management, Safety Policy and Advanced level RPAS Flight Training. Quality standards are set through the procedures defined in the Operations, Training Manual and CAR-UAS Part IV, and are monitored.
We aim to achieve the highest standards of RPAS flight training and ensure that the applicant can safely manage the risks of RPAS Piloting and strictly comply with DCAA and GCAA rules and regulations. We developed the RPAS Pilot training program with the goal to drive a systematic approach to all components of the RPAS Certification.
Upon completion the pilot will be equipped with necessary knowledge and skill to safely carry out commercial RPAS (drone) operation.
Knowledge Classes:
Lectures will be delivered via on screen presentations by a lecturer with each student having a printed booklet of materials of CAR-UAS, Study Materials and Technical documents of the RPAS on which they will be trained.
Â
Knowledge Test:
Knowledge tests are conducted to evaluate the knowledge of the students. Successful students will be continuing with flight training session. Those who are not successful will undergo Knowledge classes again for retest.
Simulator Sessions:
Simulator will begin by the instructor providing an overview of the skill to be developed, the correct procedure to be followed and two demonstrations on the simulator. The participants will have an opportunity now to ask any questions. The students will then each attempt to reproduce the instructor’s maneuvers.
Â
On-Field Flight Training:
Students will be taken to the flying field and practice maneuvers and emergency procedures during the course. Step by step procedures are followed as per the training manual.
Â
Flight Test:
Flight Test are conducted to evaluate the students UAS flying skills. Successful students will be awarded certification and apply for RPAS certification issued by DCAA. Those who are not successful will undergo more flight training sessions for retest.
Â
Certification:
Students who successfully pass the Knowledge and flight test will be issued RPAS Training Certificate which can then be applied to get RPAS License from DCAA.
