USAF to tweak non-aviator UAV program, students to reach PPL proficiency
The USAF found out the hard way that teaching non-aviators to fly UAVs requires more hours spent on flying in traditional aircraft.
A pioneer program that recently graduated eight students with no previous flying experience as UAV operators found that giving them 18 hours on manned aircraft is insufficient.
Future students will be required to do 35 hours and reach the equivalent training level of a private pilot.
