Theory Preparation Course

Duration: 1 Day - 8 hours (9am to 5pm)

Ratio of instructors to candidates: 1 to 5

Number of Modules: 6

1. General Unmanned Aircraft System (UAS) Knowledge

2. Principles of Flight

3. Air Laws

4. Navigation & Meteorology

5. Human Factors

6. Safety & Operations

Our theory preparation course is designed for all. It serves to provide the individual with the necessary knowledge to sit for the CAAS Theory Examination.

Reading references will be provided with reading guides for candidates to navigate the topics. At the end of the session, candidates will have the opportunity to sit for a mock theory examination to gauge the level of understanding.

Practical Training

Duration: 4 Days - 8 hours/day (9am to 5pm)

Total number of practice tasks: 11

Ratio of instructors to candidates: 1 to 4

Equipment used:

• Flight simulator with Advanced Futaba Remote Controller

• UA: Parrot Anafi / DJI Phantom / Inspire and H12.

The objectives of the practical training are:

1. Safety awareness in Unmanned Aircraft (UA) operations.

2. Operational considerations.

3. Flying altitude control mode (Non-GPS) so as to better control the Unmanned Aircraft (UA).

4. Know the course of action in times of emergency. Eg. UA malfunction.

5. Best practices in managing the fleet of UA.

6. Situational ground awareness when operating the UA.

7. Controlling the UA in different orientation.

The candidates would be coached under highly experienced instructors and provided with many opportunities to fly and train. Closer to the end of course, instructors would assess skill level of candidates and provide opportunities for the practical mock assessment.

Practical Assessment

Duration: 30 mins

Ratio of AFE to candidates: 1 to 1

An official AFE would be arranged to assess candidates on the required tasks to be completed. Only 1 assessment would be granted to each candidate per day.

All assessment results would be transmitted to CAAS and successful candidates who met all the other requirements can proceed to apply their Unmanned Aircraft Pilot Licence (UAPL) on CEPELS (CAAS pilot licence portal) site.
