How do I become an accredited fixed-wing drone pilot?
The heliguy™ fixed-wing drone training course is a bolt-on to our standard GVC course.
Complete both the standard GVC and fixed-wing theory learning through our online training platform, and then sit the GVC theory exam remotely.
This will be followed by a practical flight test with a fixed-wing aircraft at our Newcastle training venue, and the completion of an Operations Manual.
After obtaining your fixed-wing GVC, apply to the CAA for an Operational Authorisation. heliguy™ also has an in-house UK SORA consultancy to help you prepare for more bespoke operations.
