Airbus will start offering a drone pilot training course in India at its training centre in Bengaluru from June 26. The course is approved by the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA).
Designed for micro and small category drones, the five-day programme would cover both theory and flying lessons in order to boost the knowledge of aspiring drone pilots and deepen capabilities in the fast-developing drone sector in India.
According to the Toulouse-based airplane manufacturer, DGCA-approved instructors will provide theoretical training covering topics such as drone rules, basic principles of flight, ATC procedures, maintenance, operations and aerodynamics. The students will also receive drone flying lessons, which will include simulator training, and practical flying lessons at an Airbus-approved facility in Bengaluru, where drones will be provided by Airbus.
