After passing the CAAC UAV license examination, you can get three certificates, one is CAAC's civil UAV operator license, the other two are AOPA's civil UAV system driver license and ALPA's civil UAV operator application license. That is, you can get three certificates in one exam.

ASFC certificates are divided into eight grades. In the junior grade, teenagers are generally enlightened by drones, and in the senior grade, some model airplane players. It is difficult to obtain a high-level certificate and the gold content is low. Therefore, it is generally only for drone users with competition needs. (This certificate is mainly applicable to UAV competitions)

The UAV license issued by China Aircraft Owners and Pilots Association (AOPA-China) is essentially the qualification certificate issued by this association. The holder can have the legal right to declare the route and approve the airspace with his driver's license.

Many people think that the AOPA drone driver's license is a drone license. Strictly speaking, this is not an official drone license. It is indeed the most authoritative drone certificate before 20 18.

However, since September 20 18 1 day, the current valid drone pilot certificate issued by China Aircraft Owners and Pilots Association has been automatically converted into an electronic drone pilot license issued by the Civil Aviation Administration, and the rights stated in the original certificate have been transferred to the electronic license. The AOPA UAV driver's license obtained after September 20 18 1 day is only a certificate.

The learning contents of China Civil Aviation and AOPA are the same. If you have passed CAAC, you can apply for the certificate of AOPA at the same time, without additional examination. Note that the order of admission is: first obtain CAAC license, and then issue AOPA certificate. This certificate is applicable to certain specific project declarations. )

In fact, ALPA was originally named AOPA, which can be simply understood as the backbone of the original AOPA came out to set up ALPA alone, grafting most of the previous work. The full name of ALPA is China Civil Aviation Pilots Association, which is abbreviated as ALPA in China. This certificate is not much different from the AOPA certificate in essence.

UTC is a training institution established by DJI, which provides targeted drone skills training for specific drone positions such as drone aerial photography and drone agricultural plant protection, and mainly teaches how to use drones in DJI. Because the scope of use is relatively simple, the difficulty of the exam is also relatively simple. (This certificate is suitable for industrial application)

Textual research suggests that one's own conditions and needs are the first consideration in which certificate to test. Among all UAV certificates, the gold content and authoritative license of CAAC UAV driver's license are directly managed by the Civil Aviation Administration under the Ministry of Transport.
