It's no surprise that individuals desire to become drone pilots given how quickly they're taking over the planet. Although operating a drone may seem like an enormous undertaking, with the right training, it is actually rather simple.

The requirements for becoming a drone pilot, the cost of the school, and the necessary qualifications are shown below.

The Civil Aviation Ministry's publication of new drone operation regulations in India has laid the groundwork for the expansion of drone services in that country. Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), sometimes referred to as drones, are aircraft that are remotely operated and do not have an onboard human pilot.

But to fly the larger ones, you need a pilot's licence. Before continuing, you should be familiar with the drone classifications in India because they are the basis for the licence. There are five types of drones:

• Nano - Drones that are nanoscale weigh no more than 250 g
• Micro: Drones weighing no more than 250 g and no more than 2 kilogrammes
• Small - Drones weigh more than 2 kg and up to 25 kg, respectively
• Medium - Drones that weigh between 25 kg and 150 kg are considered medium-sized
• Large - Drones weigh more than 150 kg

​How to obtain a drone pilot license?

A drone pilot's licence is not necessary to operate Nano for non-commercial, personal use. However, in order to operate any other type of drone, or any of these categories, for commercial reasons, you must submit an application for a permit and complete training at a location authorised by the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA). A drone school that has been approved will administer all drone training and assessments in compliance with the published guidelines. To enroll in a drone training course, however, you are not required to buy a drone. Drones and training resources are provided by the training facility. A training certificate and a skill test report from an authorised training institution are required for the DGCA to issue a remote pilot licence. A remote pilot license's initial 10-year tenure may be increased by an additional 10-year period with each application for renewal.

What qualifications must one have in order to become a drone pilot?

Any training institute requires applicants to be 18 years old and to have completed the 10th grade. You must also posees a medical certificate validated by a doctor.

If you want to learn how to fly a drone, you should do it at an institution that has been approved by the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DCGA). To receive your "Pilot Identification Number" and Unmanned Aircraft Operator Permit, you must first have the appropriate documentation, and then you must register as a "Remote Pilot" (UAOP).
