In plain language

Before flying multiple drones at once, you must complete classroom and flight training, starting with a few drones and gradually increasing the number to practice normal and emergency procedures.

Requirement as structured

MLIT states that operators must conduct both desktop and practical flight training for multi-UAS operations, gradually increasing the number of simultaneous aircraft to ensure pilots are fully proficient in both normal and emergency procedures.
