DGCA Inspects Drone Pilot Training Facility at SV University
Imagine a school for drone pilots is being built.
Inspectors from the government, like the FAA for airplanes, came to check if the school is good enough.
They looked at everything, from the computers that teach how to fly to the places where the students will practice.
The inspectors checked the safety rules and made sure the school followed all the laws.
The school wants to make sure drone pilots are well-trained and can fly safely, which is very important as more and more people use drones.
DGCA inspected Sri Venkateswara University's proposed drone training facility.
The inspection assessed the university's readiness to meet DGCA standards.
Officials examined technical and academic aspects, including simulators and infrastructure.
The DGCA team reviewed safety measures, compliance, and equipment condition.
The facility aligns with the Chief Minister's vision for technology learning centers.
