Bringing remote pilot skills up to an advanced level through a robust programme of tests and certifications

无人机培训有限公司(DTL)正在寻求支持，以开发七项远程飞行员飞行高级技能测试。这些是为了无人机行业、个人和客户的利益而开发的。英国目前对无人机服务提供商和飞行员的培训和评估制度的局限性是缺乏对远程飞行员的标准化认证。目前的飞行评估仅限于对每个无人机培训提供商的解释，没有对个别远程飞行员的技能和知识进行比较，可以作为行业的基准。目前，任何雇用或签约远程飞行员的公司都必须确认无人机服务提供商提供的证据是否符合他们的具体要求，然后确认已经进行了尽职调查。缺乏明确标准的具体信息和认证正在阻碍无人机服务的采用。活动的数量非常特定于行业和客户，因此单一的评估方案是不可行的。例如，在工业地点使用多旋翼无人机进行近距离检查的飞行员不一定具有进行大规模固定翼电力基础设施调查的技术或操作技能。习惯于在完全有GPS辅助的开放环境中飞行的飞行员，可能没有在建筑物周围或内部没有GPS的环境中飞行所需的手动飞行技能。公司或客户需要与要完成的任务密切相关的技能评估。高级技能测试将增加具有定义能力和飞行技能的远程飞行员的数量，并以标准格式确认无人机、其能力和操作环境的必要知识，该格式在行业公认的证书上识别远程飞行员的能力。远程试点将能够向工业现场管理人员提供行业认可的证书，以确认已成功进行技能评估。这样做的目的是使工业现场管理人员和飞行员都有信心建立成功的伙伴关系，以便在今后的项目和活动中有所发展，并减轻评估远程飞行员能力的行政负担。

Drone Training Ltd (DTL) are seeking support to develop seven remote pilot flight advanced skills tests. These are being developed for the benefit of the drone industry, individuals and customers. The limitation with the current training and assessment regime in the UK for drone service providers and pilots is the lack of standardised certification of remote pilots. Current flight assessments are limited to the interpretation of each individual UAS training provider and there is no comparison on the individual remote pilot's skills and knowledge that can be used as a benchmark for industry.Currently, any company employing or contracting remote pilots has to confirm if the evidence presented by the drone service provider meets their specific requirements and then confirm that due diligence has been conducted. The lack of specific information and certification to a defined standard is hampering the adoption of drone services. The number of activities is very industry and client-specific, therefore a single assessment option is not viable.For example, a pilot experienced in close inspection in an industrial location using a multirotor drone does not necessarily have the technical or operational skills to conduct a large-scale fixed-wing power infrastructure survey. A pilot who is used to flying in open environments with full GPS-assistance may not have the manual flight skills required to fly in a GPS-denied environment around or within structures. Companies or clients require a skills assessment which closely correlates with the tasks to be completed.The advanced skills tests will increase the number of remote pilots with defined capabilities and flying skills and confirm the requisite knowledge of the drone, its capabilities and the operational environment in a standard format which identifies a remote pilot's capabilities on an industry-accepted certificate. The remote pilot will be able to provide the industrial site management with an industry-recognised certificate to confirm that skills assessments have been undertaken successfully. This is intended to give both the industrial site management and the pilot the confidence to build a successful partnership to build on with future projects and activities, and to reduce administrative burden in assessing the competence of remote pilots.
