Since 2016, DPCA has introduced an “override” mechanism that is adopted in the completion examination of unmanned aerial vehicle training. In the unlikely event that a student falls into a dangerous operation, the instructor will immediately intervene and guide the aircraft to a safe position.
With this training system, it is possible for even beginners to safely operate an unmanned aerial vehicle with peace of mind. In addition, experienced instructors will provide direct guidance based on the operational experience and know-how cultivated by training more than 7,000 pilots over the past seven years. Furthermore, as part of our regional contribution activities utilizing unmanned aerial vehicles, we have concluded a “disaster operation agreement” with 40 government agencies and local governments, including the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications and the Fire and Disaster Management Agency.

■ Provide original textbooks to students
We will provide participants with an original text that fully conveys the know-how cultivated in the past seven years of on-site operation experience. This original textbook was created by Koichi Mizuno, who is a commercial pilot and FAA (Federal Aviation Administration) ground instructor, and is currently the director of the center. It is ■ “Experienced people” apply “lecture time reduction measures” At DPCA, we would like inexperienced pilots who wish to obtain a national license to obtain a national license (skill certificate) in the shortest and most efficient manner by keeping course costs as low as possible.
In order to achieve this, we will make effective use of the training time exemption for “experienced people” stipulated by law, and provide a training plan that combines private skill training.
Detailed information about the course will be released on the dedicated website in the future.
