UAS Pilot Training Course
- Duration 16 Weeks
- Participants Up to 12 Trainees
- Training Format Face-To-Face
Course Overview From Aviation Fundamentals to Real-World Flight Operations
The course combines theoretical instruction, high-fidelity simulator training, and hands-on live flight experience, covering aircraft operation, mission planning, payload management, and mission execution.
Training is conducted face-to-face in small groups, led by experienced CAAI licensed and qualified UAS instructors, ensuring personalized guidance and continuous assessment.
The practical training utilizes tactical UAS platforms from the Aeronautics Orbiter family, providing real-world experience while developing broadly applicable UAS operating skills.
