TERMS & CONDITIONS
  1. CDP-C™ Certified Drone Pilot – Commercial (“Course”) Online Application
    1. By submitting your application to enroll on CDP-C™ Certified Drone Pilot – Commercial course, certification issued by The UAV Academy LTD, you understand that on issuing it is a certification of recognition that you have passed an exam after attending a two-day theory course in unmanned aerial vehicle (“UAV”) use; completed an Operations Manual for UAVs and have demonstrated a high skill competency in flying UAVs. Further, you understand this certification will not grant you a ‘pilot’s licence’, nor will it automatically grant you a permission to fly a UAV commercially in Hong Kong or worldwide. You further understand that the certification is solely designed to demonstrate your competency as a UAV pilot, to enable yourself or your organisation (Accountable Manager or pilot) to support any application for permission for commercial work to a national aviation authority, according to the rules of that country, if you so wish.
      IAMUAS is not responsible for the status or otherwise existence of the CDP-C™ certification and as the applicant, you undertake to make your own due diligence enquiries as to the benefits of this certification to your personal needs and requirements.
    2. Where the course includes a package of flight training and aircraft rental package,  provided by IAMUAS (and not our partners) flight training is to be taken within 3 months of the Part 2 theory course, at a date to be arranged.
    3. For courses booked after 24-25 March 2018: Part 4 Flight Operations Assessment (FOA) is to be taken within 6 months of 1st attempt at CDP-C™ Part 2 exam (or in the case of the Abbreviated course; within 6 months of accessing the online learning system) and after having had Operations Manual (OM) approved.
  2. Insurance
    1. When students undertake flight training or any supervised flying / Flight Operations Assessment with IAMUAS, they will be required to sign our standard Student Waiver agreement prior to flying.
    2. IAMUAS highly recommends that all pilots of their organization have their own third party liability insurance covering the requirements of the relevant legislation.
    3. Where ‘equipment crash insurance’ is included in a course fee, when students rent IAMUAS equipment for flight training or FOA, note that this ONLY applies to UAVs/equipment belonging to IAMUAS. If a student wishes to use his/her own UAVs/equipment, even though rental of IAMUAS UAVs/equipment may be included in the fee, insurance does not cover the student’s own UAVs/equipment.
  3. Postponement of confirmed Flight Training and Flight Operations Assessment (FOA)
    1. Flight Training delivered by IAMUAS (and not our partners): You will be charged an admin fee of HK$1000 if you postpone a confirmed Flight Training session within 3 working days of the agreed original date. You will be liable for the entire session cost should you wish to postpone within 1 working day of the agreed original date.  If your Flight Training session has been paid for as part of a Course Package, the value for calculation of this cost will be determined as the equivalent fee if it had been booked separately according to our Flight Training Fees published on our website. Should inclement weather prevail near the arranged Flight Training session dates, IAMUAS will have absolute and sole discretion as to whether those sessions take place as arranged, and will assess the weather and other environmental conditions, which may preclude safe flight operations. Should IAMUAS decide to postpone the flight training session, there will be no penalty fee for postponement and arrangements will be made for a suitable alternative date.
    2. Flight Operations Assessment (FOA): You will be charged an admin fee of HK$1000 if you postpone a confirmed Flight Operations Assessment (FOA) within 3 working days of the agreed original date. Other than for reasons agreed with the examiner regarding inclement weather, if you postpone within 1 working day of the agreed original date; you will be liable for the entire cost. You must follow and are bound by the rules of the FOA joining instructions issued to you with regard to postponement due to bad weather or other exigencies. If your FOA has been paid for as part of a Course Package, the value of an FOA for calculation of costs will be determined as HK$3000.
    3. If, due to force majeure or other reasons beyond IAMUAS reasonable control (Including where the instructor is ill), the Course/Flight Training/FOA cannot be performed at the agreed date, or could only be performed with unreasonable economic effort, then the Course will be performed on the next possible date agreed.
