The scope of the SAPR course, [Remotely Steered Aircraft Systems], generally known as "Drones", is to prepare pilots to the standard required by ENAC (the Italian Civil Aviation Authority) for the '"certification" and "licensing" of drone pilots.

The "certificate" permits the piloting of drones not exceeding 25 kg, while the "license" is required for pilots of drones over 25 kg.

The certificate / license, according to the new Regulations of 16 July 2015, can only be issued by an approved Drone training center.
The Aero Club Torino has entered into an agreement with North West Service Ltd., which is a training center holding Drone authorization OA. 3499 from ENAC.
Under this agreement the Aero Club Torino (already holder of ENAC certification 3873 for the organization of theoretical courses) will continue to hold the theoretical part at its premisess in Turin, Strada Berlia 500, while the practical element will be conducted by North West Service in areas that will be designated as required.

Such courses are intended for those who are novices to drones or who intend to start an occupation in which piloting is required, for example: photographic and/or video recordings in hard to reach areas; in agriculture for the vigilance of soils and crops; in security for supervision, control and surveillance of our cultural heritage; in civil defence for environmental monitoring and surveillance of the territory in the event of natural disasters.

It isthe ideal solution for an in-depth knowledge of the Drone technology systems, their flight mechanics and constructional principles, basic principles of meteorology, specific legislation, air laws etc, for a clear comprehension of the limits and operational potential of these systems in accordance with the new directives.
