What Do I Have To Do In The GVC Practical Flight Test?
The GVC practical flight test is designed to provide assurance that the remote pilot being examined can safely undertake a wide range of VLOS operations within the Specific Category, including those conducted under a published PDRA, whilst adhering to a set of procedures contained within an Operations Manual. The test will be conducted outdoors and candidates must sufficiently show competence in a range of pre-and-post-flight actions, and in-flight procedures. All candidates must complete the practical flight test.
The practical flight examination can be conducted at one of our UK training venues, or at a venue of your choice if you are undertaking a closed course training programme.
