How to take the drone pilot license test

How to get a drone pilot license is introduced as follows:

The process of getting a drone pilot license:

1. Find a training institution

If you want to take the drone test, you must first sign up for a drone training institution. If you have not been trained, you cannot take the test.

2. Confirm the type of driver’s license test

There are three types of drone driving licenses: plant protection, within visual range and beyond visual range. Consider it based on your own work needs, your own direction, and your own financial situation. Because the price of unmanned testing continues to increase from plant protection to beyond visual range.

3. Registration

After confirming the type of drone you want to test, submit relevant information, such as a copy of your ID card, photos, etc., and pay the registration fee.

4. Receive training

The training will first provide theoretical training, including safety regulations, drone principles, etc., and then master the skills of using the remote control through simulator flying. Once you are proficient, you can Directly into flight training.

5. Examination registration

When the exam registration time comes, there is no need to register in person. The training institution will help you sign up, so you don’t have to go in person. You can take the exam after registering.

6. Exam

The exam will be held once a month. The drone exam is held once a month, and you can take the exam as long as you meet the exam level.

7. Get a driver's license

After the results are released, if the results meet the standards, you can get a driver's license.

The drone license examination subjects include theoretical subjects, comprehensive question and answer, practical flight, and ground station examination.

1. Theoretical examination: The theoretical examination is all single-choice questions, involving a lot of professional theoretical knowledge. Candidates need to understand the principles of drones, drone laws and regulations, etc., and need to memorize the question bank.

2. Practical test: In actual flight, you need to complete operations such as horizontal figures and 360-degree spin on the spot. Compared with the captain, the pilot's requirements for the aircraft mode are easier. Plant protection drones can fly along cultivated land routes (flying in a rectangular shape).

3. Comprehensive Questions and Answers (Oral Exam): The test format is a computer-based test. 10 multiple-choice questions are randomly selected. If you answer 7 questions correctly, you will pass. It should be noted that Category V, the plant protection drone, does not require an oral exam. The question types of this exam are relatively flexible. If you have a thorough understanding of drones, you can basically draw inferences about other cases.

4. Ground station: Drivers do not need to take the ground station test. They can get the certificate after passing the oral test. The captain needs to take the exam. The main purpose of the ground station is to plan and edit waypoints and routes. The assessment content is also the same, and it is not difficult.

UAVs are unmanned aircraft controlled by radio remote control equipment or airborne computer program control systems. UAVs have a simple structure and low cost of use. They can not only complete the tasks performed by manned aircraft, but are also suitable for tasks that are not suitable for manned aircraft. It plays a great role in emergency response and early warning.

UAV workflow

1. Start interface: Quickly realize mission planning, enter the task monitoring interface, and realize rapid and automatic archiving of aerial photography tasks. Each function is divided to realize The software runs specifically and stably.

2. Pre-flight inspection: In order to ensure the safety of the mission, automatic detection is carried out in conjunction with the flight control software before takeoff to ensure that the aircraft's GPS, compass, airspeed control and pitch and roll are in good condition to avoid The occurrence of dangerous situations in aerial photography.

3. Flight mission planning: Plan flight missions in three modes: regional aerial lighting, navigation, and hybrid.

4. Flight monitoring: Real-time grasp of the aircraft’s attitude, orientation, airspeed, position, battery voltage, real-time wind speed and direction, mission time and other important status, so that operators can judge the executability of the mission in real time. further ensure the safety of the mission.

5. Image stitching: After the aerial photography task is completed, navigate the aerial images to stitch the images of the study area.
