EASA endorsement module: beyond visual line of sight (BVLOS) operations

Operating Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) Beyond Visual Line of Sight (BVLOS) represents a significant step in operational capability, and with it comes a heightened level of risk and complexity. This EASA endorsement module is specifically designed for highly experienced remote pilots who need to acquire the specialized competencies for planning and conducting BVLOS operations.

EASA mandates that such advanced operations are supported by robust training. This endorsement module provides the essential additional theoretical knowledge and practical training to meet these demanding requirements. Successfully completing this module signifies that you have been tested by a European designated training institution and possess the advanced skills necessary to manage the unique challenges of flying UAS beyond the pilot’s direct visual range, typically within the EASA Specific Category under an operational authorisation.

Duration: To be specified by training provider (This is a comprehensive and intensive module, likely spanning multiple days, incorporating extensive theory, simulation, and practical flight components).
Prerequisites:

– Advanced EASA remote pilot qualification, such as EASA Remote Pilot Complete Training (RPCT) or a relevant STS certificate (e.g., STS-02 for certain BVLOS operations).
– Significant logged flight hours and extensive operational experience.
– Thorough understanding of UAS technology, aviation principles, and risk management (SORA).
– May require other specific endorsements or qualifications (e.g., Radio Telephony (RT) certificate).
– Proven ability to manage complex operational planning and execution.

Certificate: EASA Endorsement Certificate for UAS Beyond Visual Line of Sight (BVLOS) Operations
Recognized Entity: To be specified by training provider (e.g., IDA Finland, if they are the designated entity for this advanced endorsement).
