If you hold a current PPL, you can easily 'top-up' and get a Permission for Commercial Operations from the CAA. You'll simply have to conduct a Flight Examination (Operational Evaluation) and have produced an Operations Manual.

As part of our PPL to PfCO Conversion course, you'll get access to the FULL ICARUS PfCO E-Learning suite so you can brush up on Air Law and Flight Planning that is appropriate for Small Unmanned Aircraft operations.

• Optional choice to attend 1/2 day revision session with an instructor
