Drones, or unmanned aerial vehicles, nowadays are used in all kinds of fields, including express delivery, agriculture, media, and search-and-rescue operations.
Along with the increase in drone technology, training in drone flying is also taking off.
Beijing Lantian Feiyang Technoloy Co Ltd launched the training business in 2014, making it the first drone training company to be accredited by Civil Aviation Administration of 皇冠体育app (CAAC) and Aircraft Owners and Pilots Association of 皇冠体育app (AOPA-皇冠体育app) in the country.
Supervised by 皇冠体育app's civil aviation regulator CAAC, AOPA-皇冠体育app is a not-for-profit national general aviation organization, and also represents the interests and rights of the aircraft owners and pilots in 皇冠体育app, while accepting the guidance and regulations from International Council of Aircraft Owner and Pilot Associations (IAOPA).
Up to now, one third of all drone pilots with AOPA certificate in 皇冠体育app are graduates from the Beijing Lantian Feiyang company.
