Currently, drone pilot licenses are divided into three types: multi-rotor, fixed-wing and helicopter. Taking multi-rotor as an example, the examination subjects are four major items.
Subject 1: Theoretical test
Theory: 100 multiple-choice questions, 120 minutes, full score of 100 points, the pilot passed with 70 points, and the BVR captain passed with 80 points. Unlike the driver's license test, you can get 50 or 60 points by relying on common sense in life. It involves a lot of professional theoretical knowledge, and you need to understand the principles of drones, drone laws and regulations, etc., and you need to memorize the question bank.
Subject 2: Practical test
In actual flight (horizontal figure, 360-degree spin on the spot), the captain and pilot have different requirements for the aircraft mode, and it is easier for the pilot . Plant protection drones can fly cultivated land routes (flying rectangles).
Subject 3: Comprehensive Questions and Answers (Oral Exam)
Computer-based exam, 10 multiple-choice questions are randomly selected, with a full score of 10 points, and all are passed with a score of 7. It should be noted that Category V (Plant Protection UAV) does not require an oral exam. The question types of the oral examination are relatively flexible. If you have a systematic understanding of drones, you can basically draw inferences about other cases.
Subject 4: Ground Station
Drivers do not take this test. After passing the oral test, they can already get the certificate. The captain needs a ground station test. The main purpose of the ground station is to plan and edit waypoints and routes, and the assessment content is also very simple.
In short, from the analysis of the test content, the drone pilot license assessment is very professional and it is impossible to pass it easily without putting in effort. However, the overall difficulty of the exam is average. If you follow the question bank and study, you will have no problem passing the exam. Now, there are many professional drone pilot license training institutions. Following the system, the passing rate of the exam is very high.
