Online NQE (PfCO) to GVC Conversion (Last Registration 15-12-2023)

Completing the NQE (National Qualified Entity) to GVC (General Visual Line of Sight Certificate) conversion is a crucial step in ensuring the safety and professionalism of drone pilots, especially considering that the PfCO (Permission for Commercial Operations) will no longer exist after December 31, 2023. The NQE to GVC conversion process is designed to bring drone operators up to date with the latest regulations and standards in the ever-evolving field of unmanned aerial systems. This transition empowers drone pilots with the knowledge and skills required to operate their aircraft safely, not only for their own benefit but for the safety of the public and the integrity of the industry as a whole.

For pilots with an in-date NQE (PfCO) qualification and the required currency (Flight Hours) of 2 hours in the last 3 months or 8 hours in the last 12 months, may not be required to complete the in-person practical flight test.
