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，以开发七个远程飞行员飞行高级技能测试。这些都是为了无人机行业、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限制是缺乏远程飞行员的标准化认证。目前的飞行评估仅限于每个无人机系统培训提供商的解释，没有对单个远程飞行员的技能和知识进行比较，可用作行业基准。目前，任何雇用或承包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其特定要求，然后确认已进行尽职调查。缺乏特定的信息和对定义标准的认证阻碍了无人机服务的采用。活动的数量因行业和客户而异，因此单一的评估选项不可行。例如，在使用多旋翼无人机进行工业场所近距离检查方面经验丰富的飞行员不一定具备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GPS辅助的开放环境中飞行的飞行员可能不具备在建筑物周围或建筑物内的GPS拒绝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特定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的必要知识，其能力和操作环境，该格式在行业认可的证书上识别远程飞行员的能力。远程试点将能够为工业现场管理提供行业认可的证书，以确认技能评估已经成功进行。这样做的目的是让工业现场管理人员和试点人员都有信心建立成功的伙伴关系，以便在未来的项目和活动中再接再厉，并减少评估远程试点人员能力的行政负担。

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.
