EASA endorsement module: transport of dangerous goods by air

The transport of Dangerous Goods (DG) by air using Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) is a highly specialized operation governed by stringent international and EASA regulations. Due to the significant risks involved, exceptional competency and adherence to procedures are demanded from the remote pilot and the entire operational crew.

This EASA endorsement module provides the critical additional theoretical knowledge and practical training required to manage these risks and comply with all applicable regulations for transporting DG. It covers aspects from DG classification and packing to emergency response. Successful completion, including assessment by a European designated training institution, is essential for any pilot involved in such operations.

Important: As per EASA guidelines and safety requirements, this advanced module can only be booked and undertaken in combination with the “EASA endorsement module: transport and/or dropping of cargo.” This ensures a foundational understanding of general cargo operations before specializing in Dangerous Goods.

Duration: To be specified by training provider (This is an intensive theoretical module, often 1-3 days, potentially with procedural practical exercises. The exact duration depends on the scope of DG classes covered).
Prerequisites:

– Successful completion of the “EASA endorsement module: transport and/or dropping of cargo” (this module must be booked in combination).
– A valid advanced EASA remote pilot certificate (e.g., RPCT, or an STS if specifically extended by the NAA for certain DG operations – though this is rare for STS).
– Thorough understanding of general aviation principles and UAS operations.
– High level of responsibility and attention to detail.
