NEW DELHI: Aiming to promote the drone sector, the civil aviation ministry scrapped the requirement of drone pilot licence for operating drones in the country. The move came a day after India announced its decision to ban the import of drones.
Aviation ministry officials said that the Remote Pilot Certificate (RPC) issued by a DGCA-approved drone school through the single window DigitalSky Platform shall be sufficient for operating a drone in India. Moreover, no remote pilot certificate shall be required for operating a drone weighing upto 2 kg for non-commercial purposes.
