Basic National UAS Cerificate (BNUC^TM and BNUC-S^TM)

The UK is the first country in the world to have a specific civil UAS Pilot Qualification recognised by its National Authority, i.e. the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA website - Pilot Qualifications). This qualification specifically addresses the needs of the UAS industry in providing independent assessment of UAS pilot competence.

Small Unmanned Aircraft (BNUC-S^TM)

The BNUC-S^TMhas been developed under CAA direction, to provide a more comprehensive basis for the developing UAS industry undertaking Aerial Work using Small Unanned Aircraft (SUA) with aircraft whose mass mass is less than 20Kg.

Particular emphasis has been placed on the need to recognise the fact that many entrants into the UAS industry do not come from an Aviation background and therefore specifcally addresses the necessary aviation knowledge and understanding required to operate SUA safely in a commercial aviation environment.

More details and an application Form can be found on the EuroUSC^TM website.
