Zeta Fast Track Course

The Zeta Fast Track Course meets the requirements of the UK CAA, where all candidates learn the fundamentals of safely operating a RPAS. The course covers how to fly legally within UK airspace by understanding UK aviation law and CAA regulations applicable to RPAS, which cumulates with a flight assessment. Successful course completion will result in an A2 Certificate of Competency (A2 CofC) and a General Visual Line of Sight Certificate (GVC).

All candidates will be expected to complete pre-course learning through EEIs e-learning platform, followed by classroom-based instructor led theory which culminates in a written examination. 

Modules include: 

• Introduction to RPAS 

• Air Law Responsibilities 

• RPAS Operating Principles 

• Airmanship & Aviation Safety 

• Human Performance 

• Meteorology 

• Navigation & Charts 

• RPAS General Knowledge 

• Operator Responsibilities 

• Operating Procedures

By successfully completing our course theory phase, candidates will be eligible to conduct the flight assessment after demonstrating competency by presenting evidence of previous flight logs along with an EEI-ratified Operation Manual. Candidates will perform the following assessed tasks in planning (including risk assessment), briefing, aircrew discipline, safety, airmanship, and general handling, including emergency procedures.

On completing the assessment, the candidates demonstrate a competency level required to operate safely within the Specific Category. This, along with an EEI-ratified Operation Manual, candidates will be awarded their GVC, which will enable them to apply to the CAA for an Operational Authorisation to fly their RPAS within UK airspace.
