🎓 DRONE PILOT TRAINING · AULNAY-SOUS-BOIS (93) · €350–2,800 LA FORMATION
Drone drone pilot training in Aulnay-sous-Bois
Becoming a professional drone pilot requires mastering a dense European regulatory framework and genuine flying skill. Our courses cover the full journey: preparation for the online A1/A3 theory exam, the French BAPD certificate for sub-category A2, complete specific-category training (CATS theory plus practical STS-01/STS-02 scenario training with assessment and certificate), and trade modules — photogrammetry, thermography, technical inspection, FPV. Sessions alternate between classroom, simulator and a declared training field.
Our instructors are working drone pilots: real-world cases, the pitfalls of prefectural declarations and the actual preparation of a mission in controlled airspace are part of the syllabus alongside theory. Courses are eligible for French professional funding schemes (OPCO, France Travail depending on your file); individual sessions or small groups of 4 to 6 trainees, anywhere in France. Three months of post-course support (regulatory hotline, review of your first mission files) is included.

The local context in Aulnay-sous-Bois
Aulnay-sous-Bois stacks three heavy constraints: the Paris conurbation's low-altitude no-fly zone, the Paris-Le Bourget CTR to the west and the Paris-Charles-de-Gaulle CTR to the north — Roissy's approach paths pass close by. Ceilings are very low and every mission requires prefecture authorisation and fine coordination.
The local market is real: conversion of the former PSA plant into a mixed district and logistics hub — one of Greater Paris's largest projects —, the Line 16 station under construction, the Garonor and Paris Nord 2 business parks at the commune's edge, urban renewal in the northern districts and the Sausset forest park offering fine green interludes to document.
Applicable regulations
The French regulatory path in 2026 works as follows: for the open category, free online A1/A3 training and exam on the DGAC platform (via AlphaTango), supplemented for A2 by declared practical self-training and the French theory exam (BAPD). For the specific category (built-up areas, beyond visual line of sight, STS scenarios), the pilot must pass the CATS theory certificate (exam at a DGAC centre) then complete practical training with a recognised entity issuing the completion certificate; the operator declares its STS scenarios and maintains an operations manual. Every operator — even recreational, from 800 g or with a camera — registers on AlphaTango. Our training fields are declared and our practical courses aligned with European scenario requirements.
Frequently asked questions
How long does it take to become a professional drone pilot?
Allow 5 to 10 days of training: 2 to 3 weeks of CATS theory preparation (often remote), then 3 to 5 days of practical STS work in the field. Many trainees are operational within a month, operator filings included.
Can the course be funded by French professional schemes?
Yes: our organisation is Qualiopi-certified, the prerequisite for OPCO funding, company training plans and France Travail support. We provide the quote, syllabus and agreement for your application.
Do I need to own a drone before training?
No: training drones (and the simulator) are provided throughout the course. We then advise you on buying a machine suited to your business and its European class (C0 to C6).
Can this service be flown anywhere in Aulnay-sous-Bois?
Almost: Zone interdite basse altitude de l'agglomération parisienne; CTR de Paris-Le Bourget et de Paris-Charles-de-Gaulle; Plafonds très réduits sous les approches de Roissy. Depending on the exact location, the pilot picks the right framework (open or specific category) and files the required declarations — included in the quote.
