FAQ

Answers to the questions our trainees ask most often

Yes. Under China’s Interim Regulations on the Administration of Unmanned Aircraft Flights and the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs’ training rules for agricultural unmanned aircraft operators, operators must complete manufacturer training and assessment. Pilots certified by another manufacturer must also complete practical training and assessment for EAVISION models. Because flight-control systems and operating functions differ by brand, EAVISION-specific training and assessment are required for safe, efficient operations.

Certificates depend on the course. Please refer to the information provided for the specific course.

After completing the course and passing the required assessment, certificates are processed according to the relevant course schedule.

Retraining requirements depend on your current certification, drone model and course requirements. Please contact EAVISION Academy to confirm.
