About Blue Aviation
We train remote pilots and examine them ourselves
Blue Aviation is a drone school and an examination body designated by the German Federal Aviation Office (DE.PStF.015). We train remote pilots, conduct the A2 and STS theory exams, and advise companies and authorities that are setting up their own drone operation.
Values
What you can hold us to
Competence
We teach you what you need in the field, and we examine to the requirements of the German Federal Aviation Office.
Openness
You get a straight answer on what your project needs and what it doesn't. Even when we earn nothing from it.
Spirit of innovation
We do our own development work on drone systems. What we learn there goes into our training and consulting.

Method
How we train
Our courses follow Competency-Based and Evidence-Based Training from commercial aviation: you practise on real situations, and what counts in the end is whether you can handle them. That applies to a beginner in the A2 course just as much as to a fire service drone unit.
