Drone Qualifications South Wales

General Visual Line of Sight Certificate (GVC)

Our GVC qualification allows us to undertake complex and specific-category drone operations, particularly beneficial for commercial projects in South Wales. Here’s how the GVC elevates our drone services:

  • Operational Flexibility: The GVC enables our pilots to operate drones in more demanding scenarios, including flights in congested areas or closer proximity to people, subject to CAA’s Operational Authorisation.

  • Customised Risk Assessments: With the GVC, we conduct thorough risk assessments for each flight, tailoring our operations to ensure safety and compliance with regulations.

  • Comprehensive Certification Process: Obtaining the GVC involves passing a theoretical examination and a practical flight assessment, ensuring our pilots are proficient in handling a variety of operational requirements.

A2 Certificate of Competency (A2 CofC)

The A2 CofC certification broadens our operational scope, especially for flights in accessible public areas, making it ideal for a range of projects in South Wales. Key features of the A2 CofC include:

  • Proximity to People: Our A2 CofC certified pilots can fly C2-class drones as close as 30 metres horizontally from uninvolved people, reducing to 5 metres if the drone is in low-speed mode, expanding the possibilities for urban and populated area filming.

  • Focused Online Training: The A2 CofC is obtained through rigorous online training and an examination, ensuring our pilots are well-versed in the latest drone technology and safety practices.
