PILOT SCHOOL

Open Category A1/A3

The first course for anyone who wants to be a drone pilot is the Basic Course A1/A3

In order to take the exam in higher level courses such as the specific one (Drone Pilot Course – STS), you must first obtain the A1/A3

AESA, in accordance with the new European regulations, has developed a syllabus for the preparation of this exam.

In short, it is a completely free course offered by AESA on its website, and of course we are not going to sell it to you.

At TARRACODRONE we offer you the syllabus completely free if you wish so that you can take the official exam on the AESA platform for the Open Categories A1/A3  that will allow you to fly  Drones with class marking C0 to C4 (Drones up to 25 Kg) and the option of a tutor to resolve doubts regarding the official exam.

You must complete an online training course provided by AESA followed by an exam also provided online by AESA. The exam syllabus consists of 9 different subjects, resulting in 40 questions with a duration of 40 minutes.

To obtain the “Online Training Pass Test” certificate, you must pass the exam with at least 75% of the correct answers and it will appear as Pass at the end of any attempt. Once the exam has been passed, no action is required. When the certificate has been issued, the user will receive a notification in the email address with which they registered. The certificate is valid for 5 years and the renewal process must be initiated with AESA prior to the expiration date.
In the event that the 2 exam attempts are exhausted and a Fail grade is obtained, the remote pilot will receive a negative resolution and must re-register to obtain two new attempts and pass the exam.

The A1/A3 basic course requires an approximate duration of 10 hours + the time you spend on the previous tests to prepare for the final exam.

You will have to register on the AESA website using a DNI or Digital Certificate

The registration guide for the course and the A1/A3 subcategory exam can be found here.

Once you have completed your registration, AESA will send you some keys along with the instructions for taking the exam. It usually takes about 3 days but it is possible that it may be delayed. Don’t worry! You will receive them.

But for any questions you can consult AESA:

Tf 91 396 80 00 or formaciondrones.aesa@seguroaerea.es

As soon as you receive the keys you have to connect with AESA and you have 24 hours availability to take the exam, and only 30 days from when you receive the keys.

As soon as you pass the exam as approved, AESA will send its certificate digitally to your email, so you have passed the theoretical exam. Congratulations, you now have your first certificate, now you can go for the free Open Category A2 or for the Specific Category Drone Pilot Course
