Pilot Knowledge and Ability Requirements for Multi-UAS Operations

In plain language

Pilots operating multiple drones at once must be trained to understand the unique risks of multi-drone operations and be capable of managing a malfunctioning drone while still keeping an eye on the others.

Requirement as structured

MLIT guidelines require pilots conducting multi-UAS simultaneous operations to possess specific knowledge of multi-UAS risks and the ability to handle abnormal aircraft while continuing to monitor other active aircraft.
