A GVC (General Visual Line of Sight Certificate) conversion course is a training program designed for individuals who hold a valid PfCO (Permission for Commercial Operations) or other recognised operational authorisation for drones. The course allows these individuals to convert their existing authorisation to the new GVC certification in compliance with the updated drone regulations.
The GVC conversion course typically covers the knowledge and practical skills required to operate drones in accordance with the new regulatory framework. It includes modules on flight safety, airspace regulations, emergency procedures, risk assessment, and other relevant topics.
By completing the GVC conversion course, drone operators can transition from their previous authorisation to the GVC, which aligns with the latest standards and requirements set by aviation authorities. This enables them to continue operating drones in a legal and compliant manner while staying up to date with the evolving drone regulations.
