STS 01/02 Assessment – VLOS/BVLOS

Practical flight exercises and manoeuvres are carried out under the supervision of an examiner. If these tasks are completed correctly, the examiner confirms the candidate’s suitability for certification. The exercises are adapted to the pilot’s skill level, ensuring that every pilot is appropriately challenged.

The assessment helps refine the pilot’s flying skills and prepares them for special incidents that may occur during drone operations.

Duration: Approx. 3 hours per participant
