COURSE DESCRIPTION
Light UAS operator certificate (LUC): this is a voluntary certification, after which the Irish Aviation Authority may allocate some privileges to the drone operator.
Drone operators may ask the Irish Aviation Authority to assess their organisation to evaluate whether they are capable of assessing the risk of an operation themselves.
The requirements to be demonstrated by drone operators are defined in Part C of Regulation (EU) 2019/947.
When the Irish Aviation Authority is satisfied, they will issue a light UAS operator certificate (LUC) and they will allocate privileges to the drone operators based on their level of maturity. The privileges may be one or more of the following:
- To conduct operations covered by standard scenarios without submitting a declaration;
- To self-authorise operations conducted by the drone operator and covered by a PDRA without applying for an authorisation.
- To self-authorise all operations conducted by the drone operator without applying for an authorisation.
