First of all, the driver is in sight.
The driver in sight is the most basic category of UAV driver's license, which is mainly suitable for UAV flight operation in sight. This kind of driver needs to master the basic structure, flight principle, flight rules and other knowledge of the drone by learning the theoretical knowledge of the drone, and at the same time need to master the basic operations such as take-off, landing, hovering and route flight of the drone through the assessment of flight skills.
Second, over-the-horizon drive
Over-the-horizon drivers have higher requirements for flying skills than those within sight. In addition to mastering the basic operation of UAV, it is also necessary to have the ability of ground station operation, emergency treatment and route planning. The flight range of this kind of pilots is no longer limited to sight, and they can fly in a wider space. Therefore, the training and assessment standards for over-the-horizon drivers are more stringent.
Third, teachers.
Instructor is the highest level of UAV driver's license, which requires not only flying skills in and out of sight, but also teaching ability. Teachers need to master teaching methods and skills through the study of teaching theory and the examination of practical teaching, and can train and guide others to learn UAV control skills.
To sum up:
Drone driver's license is mainly divided into three categories: drivers in sight, drivers out of sight and teachers. Different types of driver's licenses have different requirements for flying skills and teaching ability. Pilots within sight range are mainly suitable for basic flight operations, while pilots outside sight range are suitable for a wider flight range. Teachers have the ability to train and guide others. When applying for a drone driver's license, you should choose the appropriate category according to your personal needs and skill level.
