Course Information
The flight school works with industry leaders and companies to bring relevant workshops, seminar and training for individuals in management and operational roles to enhance their understanding in unmanned aircraft flight planning, crew management, operations and risk assessment.
All courses are conducted in the safety and comfort at the Ngee Ann polytechnic campus. The campus provides amenities such as shower facilities, multiple canteens, rest area and classrooms for pilot trainees to use within walking distance. Parking is available at public rate. Getting to NP is a breeze with public transport at the door step of the campus.
Singapore is a tropical country with plenty of sunshine and rain. We believe that flight practice under shelter is safer and more productive for our trainees during hot sunny days. On wet and rainy days, trainees can complete their flight practice indoor in the event of rain and extreme wind conditions. Each trainee has their individual simulation set and use them for practice as often as they need during their training period.
Managing trainees’ fatigue level and anxiety are both important to a great training experience. Here at NP flight school, trainees have the best opportunity to learn at their own pace to operate the unmanned aircraft safely and find their potential in flight planning, management and operations.

NP05: How to plan, manage and conduct drone activities in Singapore (Classroom)
Learning Outcomes
Trainees will attend online lectures on aviation laws, safe UA operations, meteorology and principles of flight. Trainees will role play and work in teams to complete several real-world assignments. They will learn how to apply for activity permits and prepare flight plans for submission to CAAS.
Trainees will learn to conduct site survey to plan risk management. Trainees will also sit for mock tests and complete an online assessment. Upon successfully passing the assessment, trainees will receive a certificate of achievement.
Trainees will practise manoeuvres according to CAAS assessment criteria using simulators and field practice. Trainees will undergo field training using the same manoeuvres that will be completed during the simulator training. Trainees will practise flight patterns using three different UA with different weights and complexities – DJI Spark (light weight and easy to fly), Phantom 4 V2.0 (medium weight, more control required) and 15kg heavy drone.
The 4 day course will help trainees operate a variety of light to heavy UA as part of their job or business. The focus will be on UA lighter than 7kg
