A2 CofC & GVC Combo Instructor Led Drone Course

Suitable for multirotor operations only.

For our combined multirotor & fixed wing online GCV course please see the product page or contact us for more information.

Our combined A2 CofC and GVC combined drone courses allows you to become qualified in the Open A2 Category and the Specific Category in one go.

The A2 CofC is a remote pilot competency certificate primarily intended to assure safe operations close to uninvolved persons in the Open A2 Category, with a C2 Classed unmanned aircraft. This can be down to 30m in normal operating mode, or 5m if operating in low speed mode.

When conditions do not meet the requirements to operate in the Open Category, the flight has to be carried out in the Specific Category, and requires a GVC (General Visual Line of Sight Certificate), which is the new CAA commercial standard in drone training.

Our A2 CofC and GVC combo provides maximum operational flexibility at a cost effective price.
