At the congress, JTT confirmed theagreement with Little Ripper Group and Shenzhen UAV Association relating to training of Chinese drone pilots in Australia. The partnership is to train Chinese drone pilots to acquire the knowledge and skills needed to operate UAV’s effectively, safely and legally. Australian aviation training and regulations are recognized as some of the best in the world. By these Chinese pilots gaining a CASA approved license, their license will be regarded internationally.

Once Chinese drone pilots successfully receive their CASA Remote Pilot License they will be able to participate in further advanced training in areas such as emergency services, lifesaving, disaster response, agriculture, infrastructure inspection and photography. Training will be delivered on advanced capability drones such as those supplied by the Chinese drone manufacturer JTT UAV.
