EASA Remote Pilot Complete Training (RPCT)

The EASA Remote Pilot Complete Training (RPCT) provides comprehensive instruction covering all the minimum theoretical knowledge and practical skill requirements set by EASA for remote pilots conducting Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) operations within the Specific Category.

This training is essential for pilots whose operations fall outside the scope of EASA Standard Scenarios (STS) and therefore require a SORA (Specific Operations Risk Assessment) based operational authorisation. The RPCT ensures you are equipped to understand and manage the complexities of such advanced UAS operations.

While this course covers the foundational EASA requirements, please note that additional specialised training, such as EASA endorsement modules (e.g., for night operations, BVLOS) or UAS type-specific training, may be necessary depending on the exact nature of the operations described in your operator’s manual and operational authorisation.

If your intended operations can be performed under an EASA Standard Scenario (STS-01/02), the requirements for pilots are different, and our STS training may be more suitable.

Duration: To be specified by training provider (typically a multi-day intensive course, e.g., 5-10 days, depending on the depth of practical training included).
Prerequisites:

– Valid EU remote pilot certificate A1/A3 for the EASA Open Category.
– Sufficient prior flight experience is highly recommended.
– Minimum age may apply (e.g., 16 or 18 years old, to be specified by provider).

Certificate: Certificate of Completion for EASA Remote Pilot Complete Training (RPCT), demonstrating fulfillment of theoretical knowledge and practical skill requirements for Specific Category operations as per EASA regulations.
Recognized Entity: To be specified by training provider (e.g., IDA Finland, if they are the designated entity for this level of training).
Languages: English
Participants: in-classroom training
Minimum Age: 18
