Practical training / practical competence certificate (optional for a fee):

In addition to theoretical knowledge, completion of practical self-training under the operating conditions for UAS of subcategory A3 is also required as a prerequisite for admission to the A2 remote pilot certificate exam.

This actually means practical training carried out by the remote pilot themselves. A testing center appointed by the Federal Aviation Office is not required for this.

Not all drones meet the FFO’s required conditions, such as flying without GPS, and there is often uncertainty when carrying out the flight exercises. Pro Fly Center offers tailored practical training (duration depends on the number of participants and each participant’s experience) with a subsequent test for beginners and advanced users. The training is conducted according to the European guidelines AMC2 UAS.OPEN.030 by an experienced instructor using DJI drones.

• You practice & fly all scenarios required by the FFO
• The duration depends on the number of participants and the experience of each participant (max. 1 hour per participant)

the following is trained and tested:

• Preflight check
• Takeoff & landing
• Flight exercises / slow flight mode
• Flying figures
• Approaching an object
• Climb
• Descent
• Estimating distances
• RTH
• Loss of orientation
• Emergency landing
• Flight without GPS

• Theoretical training with exam
• Training materials
