A2 CofC stands for "A2 Certificate of Competency," which is a certification required by the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) for individuals who wish to operate drones commercially in the UK.
Having an A2 CofC allows drone pilots to fly in the A2 subcategory of the Open Category without the need for specific permissions for each flight, making it a more convenient and cost-effective option for commercial drone operators.
To obtain an A2 CofC, individuals need to complete a training course with a CAA-approved entity. The course covers topics such as airspace restrictions, aviation law, and safety procedures. After completing the course, individuals must pass a multiple-choice examination to receive their certification.
Holding an A2 CofC demonstrates that drone operators have the necessary knowledge and skills to operate drones safely and responsibly, which can help build trust with clients and authorities. Additionally, it allows pilots to fly drones in urban areas with fewer restrictions, expanding the possibilities for commercial drone operations.
