Who Is This Training For?

This course is designed for beginners — taking participants from zero experience to confident and skilled drone pilots. After completing the training, you will gain advanced skills and official certification.
The BVLOS MR 25kg authorization allows you to operate unmanned aerial vehicles beyond visual line of sight, perform automated flights using applications, fly heavier multirotor drones up to 25 kg, as well as operate any drone up to 4 kg within visual line of sight (VLOS).

The practical training is tailored to each participant’s individual skill level and progresses gradually.
The theoretical part introduces essential topics such as aviation law, operational procedures, and airspace structure — all of which are applied during hands-on training and flight preparation.

Course Content and Scope

• Aviation regulations

• Operational procedures

• Technical and operational risk mitigation measures in the air

• Flight mission planning applications for BVLOS operations, such as DJI Pilot, DJI GS Pro, DroneDeploy, Litchi

• BVLOS missions using onboard cameras and telemetry data

• UAS (Unmanned Aircraft Systems) components and systems

• Basics of thermal imaging

• Basics of aerial photography and videography

• Photogrammetry applications

• Photogrammetric data analysis

• Orthophoto maps

• 3D modeling

• Human performance limitations

• Meteorology

• Technical and operational ground risk mitigation measures

• Step-by-step process for obtaining flight permissions

The Examination Authorizes the Participant to Perform:

• Visual Line of Sight (VLOS) operations

• Beyond Visual Line of Sight (BVLOS) operations

• First-Person View (FPV) drone flights

• Flights with drones weighing up to 4 kg

• Flights with multirotor drones weighing up to 25 kg

Training Cost: 6000 PLN

Certification and Examination

The course concludes with an official state examination conducted by the Academy of Applied Sciences (ANS).
Upon passing the exam, the participant receives the NSTS-06 authorization issued by the Civil Aviation Authority of Poland.

For professional drone operations, we offer training in the “specific” category.
Flights in this category are conducted with drones kept within 120 meters from the closest point on the ground and at a safe distance from people.

Depending on your needs and the type of unmanned platform you use, we offer training for the following categories under national standard scenarios:
NSTS-01, NSTS-02, NSTS-03, NSTS-05, NSTS-06, and NSTS-07, covering both multirotor and fixed-wing drones up to 25 kg MTOM, operated within visual line of sight (VLOS) or beyond visual line of sight (BVLOS).

Available Training Scenarios and Prices:

• NSTS-01 – VLOS or FPV operations with drones up to 4 kg: 900 PLN

• NSTS-02 – VLOS operations with multirotor drones up to 25 kg (includes NSTS-01): 1700 PLN

• NSTS-05 – BVLOS operations with drones up to 4 kg (includes NSTS-01): 1400 PLN

• NSTS-06 – BVLOS operations with multirotor drones up to 25 kg (includes NSTS-01 and NSTS-02): 6000 PLN

• Other NSTS scenarios – available upon request

Exam and Certification

Passing the exam for the specific category also qualifies you for the A2 category exam.
To obtain A2 certification, you only need to submit a declaration confirming completion of self-directed practical training.

The “Certificate of Competency for Remote Pilots of Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS)” issued by the Polish Civil Aviation Authority is valid throughout the European Union.
According to current regulations, this document is required for individuals and companies conducting commercial drone operations with multirotor (MR) or fixed-wing (A) aircraft.

For recreational, sport, and even commercial drone flights, we offer training in the open category.
Flights in this category require maintaining the drone at a maximum altitude of 120 meters above the nearest point on the ground, and at a safe distance from people — at least 30 meters, or 5 meters in A2 category when flying in low-speed mode.

A1/A3, A2 – 150 PLN per hour
The training consists only of a practical component, conducted in accordance with the requirements of the Polish Civil Aviation Authority.
As part of this course, we prepare you for the A2 theoretical exam.

Depending on your needs, we offer training in the following A-category subcategories:

• A1 (C0 and C1 class drones)

• A2 (C2 class drones)

• A3 (C3 and C4 class drones)

This includes multirotor and fixed-wing drones ranging from 0.25 kg to 25 kg, operated within visual line of sight (VLOS).

The Certificate of Competency for Remote Pilots of Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) issued by the Polish Civil Aviation Authority is valid throughout the European Union.
Under current regulations, this certificate is required for individuals and companies operating drones of multirotor (MR) or fixed-wing (A) type for recreational, sport, or commercial purposes.
