Specific Category for Drones — Documentation, Permits and Training

When is a specific category required? 

A specific category is required if you plan to fly outside the open category rules (height, distance, weight, urban environment, cargo drop, remote signal transfer to another device, etc.). 

How to obtain a specific category operating permit? 

Depending on the operation, obtaining an operating permit may require a risk assessment, an operations manual, theoretical training and examinations, and practical pilot training and accreditation. Sounds complicated? It is! That is why we save you time and offer a complete service for specific-category documentation, training and examinations! 

What is included in the specific category package? 

• identification of the nature of the flights, determination of requirements and selection of the scenario; 
• preparing the required risk assessment according to the selected flight scenario; preparation of an operating manual; 
• theory training in the specific category and preparation for the theory exam; conducting the theory examination (also at the client's location); 
• practical training and assessment, followed by PDRA-S01, PDRA-S02 or PDRA-G03 accreditation where applicable. 

There is also the possibility of choosing individual blocks from the offer.
