Can pilots operate immediately after completing the ES-DOT course?
Any Remote Pilot operating a drone for public safety must operate under an Operational Authorisation issued by the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA).
At the conclusion of the ES-DOT course, candidates can attain the Remote Pilot Certificate of Competency in both theoretical knowledge and practical ability, resulting in their immediate ability to commercially operate their aircraft under an existing permission.
