Drone exam · Aviation regulations

A company has registered as a drone operator, but the employee scheduled to fly has not completed the required pilot training for the operation. What is still missing?

Answer

The company still needs a remote pilot who meets the competence requirements for the operation. Operator registration identifies an accountable operator; it does not prove the pilot is qualified.

Explanation

Pilot competence and operator accountability answer different questions. Treating them as interchangeable can leave a registered organisation conducting an unqualified flight.
