Did you know, as of 1st December 2021, to fly a drone legally in Malaysia, it has been mandated by the Civil Aviation Authority of Malaysia (CAAM), that all drone operators, regardless of individuals or companies, need to obtain drone competency certificate?
The Remote Pilot Certificate of Competency (RCoC) is a pilot competency certificate that satisfies the requirements within the specific category. The RCoC-B certificate satisfies the competency requirements of a published pre-defined risk assessment (PDRA) or a standard scenario (STS) that involves VLOS flights. RCoC-B can also be paired with additional modules such as Module 1 (EVLOS) and Module 2 (Agriculture).
In order to fly a drone under MCAR 2016 Regulation 140-144, all drone operators must obtain a remote pilot certificate from CAAM through the aid of an approved Remote Pilot Training Organization (RPTO). In a layman’s term, the remote pilot certification is like a driver’s license for a remote pilot. This certificate is introduced to ensure that before any drone takes off into the air, the remote pilot that is in charge of the drone understands the regulations, operating requirements and procedures for safely flying these drones.
This certification entails both theory and practical training and requires prospective remote pilots to pass a written and practical exam. If you are looking to fly a drone, regardless of the purpose, you will need to obtain the remote pilot certificate from CAAM.
This knowledge can play in your favor. It could help you land a job in the drone industry and also increase your reliability as a remote pilot in the eyes of your clients or employer.
Even if your social circle does not care about drones, for pure bragging rights alone, the competency certificate is worth it. The advantages far outweigh the cost and time taken to obtain the competency certificate.
In most cases, you will recoup those losses in no too long once you are able to take your drone business to new heights with the help of your remote pilot competency certificate. With the competency certificate, you are also able to fly confidently without the fear of authorities coming and grounding you.
With the remote pilot competency certificate, you can now fly a drone for hire. Paying gigs include photography, media, and mapping. Many other industries also use drones, although more sophisticated equipment and expertise are required.
Not far down the lane, vertical take-off and landing aircrafts may manipulate the skies. The industry may need remote pilots to fly those aircrafts and a remote pilot certificate of competency could be your stepping stone into this branch of the drone industry.
We are Malaysia’s first TVET training centre to obtain Certificate of Approval (COA) Remote Pilot Training Organisation (RPTO) under Civil Aviation Authority Malaysia (CAAM). In addition, we are the first TVET training centre to obtain Malaysian Skill Certificate for Drone Pilot Level 2 and Level 3 under National Occupational Skills Standards (NOSS) with the Ministry of Human Resources Malaysia.
The training modules are carefully designed by professional drone pilots for easy understanding and are delivered in an engaging manner.
We have successfully trained more than 1,000 competent Remote Pilots for RCoC-B program. Unlike other drone training programs that only focuses on the flying element, we help you master the hardware and firmware that goes into executing a successful and safe drone operation.
You are able to engage with drone operators that are industry based and learn key techniques based of real-life scenarios.
Training is conducted by professional drone experts with over 2500 flight hours and experience over 100 corporate projects with our clients under their belt.
We put emphasis on hands on training thus limiting our classes to a ratio of 5 #Dronetroopers per trainer. We believe with this ratio, we are able to give more attention to each #Dronetrooper, ensuring that proper and safe training is conducted.
We tailor our entire drone training program to suit the needs of our #Dronetroopers. Need extra help on the hardware of the drone? Fret not, our trainers are there to accommodate to your needs.
