With the continuous progress of drone technology, its application in all walks of life is becoming more and more extensive. In order to regulate the flight activities of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) and ensure flight safety, the "Interim Regulations on the Flight Management of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles" and the "Rules for the Safety Management of Civil Unmanned Aircraft Operations" will be officially implemented from January 1, 2024. This article will give you a comprehensive explanation of the various documents required to control drones under the new regulations, as well as the important position of "operator license" in them.
1. Necessary documents for drone flight
1. Real-name registration certificate: According to Article 10 of the Regulations, the owner of a civil unmanned aircraft must carry out real-name registration, which is the first step of legal flight.
2. Nationality registration certificate: For drones flying abroad, nationality registration in accordance with the law is a necessary condition to ensure their legal cross-border flight.
3. Operation certificate: According to Article 11 of the "Regulations", if the unit uses UAVs to engage in flight activities, it must apply to the relevant departments to obtain the operation certificate.
4. Liability insurance: Article 12 clearly states that units engaged in commercial flight activities shall purchase liability insurance in accordance with the law to cover potential risks.
5. Certificate of safety control theory training: According to Article 92.5 of the "Civil Unmanned Aircraft Operation Safety Management Rules", the personnel who control micro and light civil unmanned aircraft flying in the airspace controlled by unmanned aircraft shall have full civil capacity and pass the theoretical training and examination prescribed by the bureau to obtain the certificate of safety control theory training.
6. Operator license: The "Management Rules" stipulate that the controller must hold a valid controller license to fly drones, which is the most critical personal qualification certificate in flight activities.
2. The important position of the "operator license".
Among all flight documents, the "operator's license" occupies an important place. It is not only a legal prerequisite for the operator to fly legally, but also a proof of his professional flying skills and safety awareness. According to Article 92.005 of the Administrative Rules, operating a drone without a license will face serious legal consequences. Obtaining a pilot license requires professional training and rigorous assessment to ensure that the operator can safely control the drone in a variety of flight environments.
3. The drone "operator license" is applicable to the following scenarios:
1. Operate small, medium, and large civil unmanned aircraft flights: According to Article 16 of the Interim Regulations on the Flight Management of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles, the personnel who control the flight of unmanned aerial vehicles of these sizes shall obtain the corresponding civil unmanned aircraft operator license.
2. Commercial flight activities: Units or individuals engaged in commercial flight activities need to purchase liability insurance for flight activities, and the controller license is one of the prerequisites for such flights.
3. Non-commercial flight activities: When using small, medium, and large civil unmanned aerial vehicles to engage in non-commercial flight activities, it is also necessary to obtain a controller license.
4. Professional applications in specific industries: such as surveying and mapping drones, transportation drones, inspection drones and other professional applications, the operator's license proves that the operator has professional flight skills.
5. UAV training instructor: If you want to become a UAV training instructor, the operator license is also one of the essential conditions, which proves that the instructor has excellent theoretical knowledge reserves and practical skills.
6. Apply for the right to operate airspace: Over-the-horizon drivers, as project managers, can apply for airspace rights, which usually require a controller license.
7. Decision-making power of flight route planning: The holder of the over-the-horizon pilot license has the decision-making power of flight route planning, which is one of the rights granted by the operator's license.
8. Flying at night or in low visibility meteorological conditions: Flying in this case requires special operational skills and safety awareness, and usually requires a corresponding operator license.
9. Over-the-horizon flight: Personnel who carry out over-the-horizon flight need to grasp the flight dynamics of other aircraft in the flight airspace and take measures to avoid collisions, which usually requires a controller license.
In summary, the drone "operator license" is a key qualification for professional-level drone flight activities, whether it is commercial use or professional flight in a specific industry, it needs to be licensed in accordance with relevant regulations.
Fourth, Lao Jiang talked about the advanced class of aerial surveying and civil aviation
The process of obtaining a drone operator license usually includes theoretical learning, practical training, assessment and submission of an application to the civil aviation authority. After passing the assessment, the pilot will receive an officially certified license to legally operate the drone.
In addition to the "civil unmanned aircraft operator license", you can also harvest various knowledge points in the whole process of aerial survey, such as the professional interpretation of various technologies by Xie Jincheng, the chief instructor of aerial survey training and expert of lidar point cloud technology, the unique home remedies summarized by Tang Lei, the senior training instructor of aerial survey, and the summary of many years of experience ...... Lin Sisi, an expert in aerial survey and aerial survey data processing.
