(One company) Japan Drone Business Support Association (Headquarters: Okayama City) has started the “Business Establishment Certification System” as the business utilization of drones progresses.
Outline of drone “business establishment certification system”
In April 2019, we started the “Business Establishment Certification System” in line with the rapid expansion of the use of drones in the industrial field.
Due to the expansion of industrial use of drones, drone operators are required not only to acquire simple maneuvering skills, but also to have highly specialized maneuvering skills and team management suitable for each task.
In addition, as a drone operator, it is required to operate the drone as the responsibility of the operator, instead of performing flight planning and safety management according to individual pilot skills.
(One company) The Japan Drone Business Support Association is a third-party organization in which drone operators perform “business establishment management,” “pilot management,” “flight management,” “equipment management,” “flight management,” “business management,” and “individuals.” We will audit and certify whether “information management” is done.
