As the sunrise sector holds the promise of providing jobs to a large number of trained unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) licence holders,<\/strong> a number of “fake<\/strong><\/em>” remote drone pilot training organisation (RPTO)<\/strong> \u2014 those falsely claiming to be recognised by the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) <\/strong>\u2014 have sprouted across India.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The regulator has now issued a warning about this technique in order to prevent individuals from being deceived by those who run these bogus training institutions.<\/pre>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"It has come to the attention of the DGCA... that a number of fake (DGCA-unrecognised) RPTOs are offering remote pilot training programmes, claiming to be approved by the DGCA in order to entice candidates with misleading advertisements.<\/strong>... be wary of such self-styled, unrecognised institutions that are operating in violation of the Drone Rules 2021.\"<\/pre>\n\n\n\n
 “A list of DGCA approved RPTOs may be found at https:\/\/digitalsky.dgca.gov.in\/flight-training-organizations<\/a>,” stated DGCA chief Arun Kumar in a public notification on Wednesday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\"All such (false) organizations\/persons (behind them) are advised that if found participating in such bogus activities, DGCA would impose appropriate penalties under Rule 50 <\/strong>of the Drone Rules 2021.\"<\/pre>\n\n\n\n
Furthermore, it has been observed that a number of NGOs, federations, trusts, and associations <\/em>are making false claims on their websites, claiming to be affiliated with or approved by the DGCA and collecting membership fees from drone startups and companies in the drone industry…. <\/strong>be wary of such demands as the DGCA does not support such activity,” it adds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
