I Went to Kenyan Drone School After Getting in Trouble...

Before flying a drone, there is a lot you need to know. License, registration, flight plan, restricted zone and so much more. I have to say, when I first started to fly drones, I did not do enough research in regard to laws and regulation and GOT IN TROUBLE with the Kenyan Civil Aviation Authority (KCAA)...
After doing the proper research I decided to take the proper steps to fly legally in Kenya. I received two weeks of high quality training at Astra-Aerial in Nairobi where they provide the perfect balance of theory and practical lessons to eventually get your Remotely Piloted Aircraft System (RPAS) license.
Even if the training is quite expensive, this skill is extremely valuable as a very low number of people are actually qualified. Drones and aerial photography and videography are not going away anytime soon so be upon the first to get your wings.

Thanks for the detailed info about drone school and license. Sadly, this is prohibitively expensive for many Kenyans. I can imagine someone picking up a used drone for $300 to earn a supplemental living for the family and then being told they need to go to drone school for $1300. Plus if you read through the drone rules passed in 2020, there are additional requirements for each commercial flight, transferring the drone, importing a new drone, etc. Someone in the Kenya government is trying to minimize drones.

You can use a Transport Canada license in East Africa, but you may need to do a conversion. One reason why there are quite many Canadian pilots and aircraft engineers at Wilson and in East Africa as compared to Americans is because the licensing regulations are quite similar, and dont need new training. Think you can use your license in Canada, that if the law has not changed, but will need to sit the law exam.

@femalehobbitwithhairyfeet
@femalehobbitwithhairyfeet Жыл бұрын
You cannot use a foreign licence in Kenya at all (unless you're flying foreign registered aircraft), not even a transport Canada one. The conversion means that you need a local student pilot licence and to sit air law, a composite conversion paper and the TTR for whatever aircraft you'll be flying. You'll also need to perform a number of flights (10 hrs I believe) to satisfy the local regulations. While you're doing that, kcaa's job is to validate your licence with your state. When you take the paperwork to them show that you've done the exams and flown the hours they'll grant you a conversion based on your foreign licence. That applies whether you've got a transport Canada licence or FAA licence or one from any other state. However this doesn't apply for Remote pilots licences which is what you need to fly unmanned aircraft (drones)

As a Kenyan I have to say this are the kind of laws that stifle entrepreneurship in Kenya, we have so many crazy arbitrary laws that a person starting up makes it almost impossible to do business unless you operate in a gray zone. A few weeks back they tried passing a law that only degree holders can do IT work, Imagine needing an IT degree to put a wordpress site or some networking !!! You won't believe the number of licences you need to set up a business ! As for a drone (hobbyist) all you need should be free short video from the govt showing do's and don't s restricted areas etc. May be some affordable training if you will be using bigger drones but pricing should be fair

Little known fact, after paying 150,000k to learn how to fly drones, astral-aerial secretly gives you the ability to shrink and climb into the drone yourself (don't tell anyone). That's why he needed the medical exam, to test if he could withstand all those Gs. This is why it's an amazing deal. Dave no longer needs a remote; He IS the remote. A true pilot unlike any other. So guys, stop stressing about the price and the medical exam. Take it from me, an ant-sized drone pilot myself, this is the best drone school deal in the world. Totally not a scam.

What a total racket! I speak as a former RAF pilot who built/flew C-IAVW in PEI. Just tell them, "Niy masa, weh! Mimi watu makuba SANA! Na jewa Mwalimu. Nenda sasa!" "What the hell! I am a very big person! I new Mwalimu (Nyerere, now a Saint). Leave now!" Cheeky buggers.
