Congratulations go out to Resource UAS from all at sUAS News, a
quality training program for the expanding UK sUAS market. We have only
heard good things from leading industry players who will using Resource
UAS for initial pilot training and currency from now on.
Resource UAS, part of Resource Group, has been accredited by the UK
CAA as a Qualified Entity for small unmanned aircraft (SUA). In this
capacity, Resource UAS will make recommendations to the CAA for the
issue of aerial work permissions to operate SUA within the UK.
Craig Lippett, UAS Training Programme Manager said: “We’re delighted to announce our recent CAA accreditation. We have
worked closely with them to develop a new industry initiative in
assessing pilot competency for the operation of SUA and as a result, we
have launched our Remote Pilot Qualification programme (RPQ). It has
been specifically designed to reduce the risks inherent in operating
Remotely Piloted Aircraft Systems (RPAS) to As Low As Reasonably
Practicable (ALARP)”.
The initial component of the RPQ is the Remote Pilot
Qualification-small (RPQ-s) for remotely piloted aircraft (RPA) of 20kg
or less. The RPQ-s is now accepted by the CAA as evidence of Remote
Pilot competency and provides students with the airmanship skills,
knowledge, procedures and processes for operating any type of SUA. This
is delivered by Resource UAS at its specialist training academies in
Cwmbran, South Wales and Cotswold Airport, Gloucestershire. Resource
UAS will also offer a competency and currency assessment service for
Remote Pilots in order to maintain their vital air safety standards.
Adrian Leatherland, Director ATS for Resource Group stated: “In
today’s increasingly demanding commercial and military environment, the
RPQ provides the UK CAA with an independent certification of pilot
competency, which forms an integral part of the assessment for
Permission for Aerial Work. In addition, the competency and currency
service completes the package for continued air safety once operating.”
All courses within the RPQ programme are developed to meet
ISO9001:2008 and Defence Systems Approach to Training (DSAT) compliancy.
All course instruction is delivered by qualified, specialist RPAS
instructors with extensive experience of both military and commercial
operations.
