Principle: Progressive and internationally aligned.

Identify the gap between remote pilot training and competencies and what is required to safely coordinate with crewed aviation.

Principle: Safety first.

Build on the BVLOS OCTA exam developed in 2023 to meet remote pilot training needs. Use operational maturity to inform the timing.
