Why Obtain a GVC with Pigs Can Fly?
The General Visual Line of Sight Certificate (GVC) is your ticket to a professional drone career, offering unparalleled flexibility and opportunities for growth in the drone industry. Here’s why you should consider it:
1. Fly Beyond the Basics
The GVC isn’t just a qualification—it’s your pathway to advanced drone operations. With this certification, you can legally fly drones for commercial purposes, including operations requiring specific permissions, like flying closer to uninvolved people or higher than 400ft.
2. Open the Door to High-Value Jobs
With a GVC, you can access high-value work across multiple sectors, such as:
Surveying & Mapping: Ideal for construction, infrastructure, and land development projects.
Agriculture: Perform crop monitoring, pest control, and precision spraying to support modern farming techniques. (Just like in the picture below :-)
Inspections: Safely inspect structures like roofs, bridges, and industrial sites.
Media & Marketing: Capture professional aerial footage for films, real estate, and events.
Additionally, a GVC is the basic requirement for applying for an Operational Safety Case (OSC), which allows you to conduct highly specific or complex operations not covered by standard permissions. This makes it indispensable for scaling your capabilities and attracting premium clients.
3. CAA Operational Authorisation
A GVC is your stepping stone to obtaining an Operational Authorization (OA) from the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA), enabling you to fly under Specific Category operations. This means you can tackle more complex, higher-risk missions that most drone pilots can’t.
4. Flexibility Across Aircraft Types
Unlike other certifications, the GVC allows you to operate a wide variety of drones and unmanned aircraft, giving you the flexibility to scale your operations as your business grows.
5. Long-Term Career Investment
At just £349, this course is a cost-effective way to secure your future in a booming industry. Whether you’re looking to start a business or enhance your skills, the GVC provides lasting value.
