GVC Drone Pilot Training now available at Drone Pilot Training Academy Belfast

Drone Legislation Post 31st Dec 2020

If already a PfCO holder, you need do nothing at the moment but you will need to renew at the appropriate time where it will change to an Operational Authorisation and remain useable until 2024.

If you want to fly closer that 150m to congested areas or fly within 50m of people, then all new operators will generally have to have either an A2 Certificate of Competence (A2CofC) or a General Visual Line of Sight Certificate (GVC). If you don’t have one of these, you probably won’t get drone insurance to fly where you wish anyway.

But which is best for you?  The scope of the following information is provided to allow you to decide on which Certificate (or both) is best for your operations.  Remember that what you intend doing will in some ways be completely different from other operators so no one size will fit all.

Whichever certificate you decide on taking, Drone Pilot Training Academy’s training courses will be a perfect fit for you.
