Recognition
Recognised by the Dutch Human Environment and Transport Inspectorate (ILT) as an erkende entiteit UAS under reference NL-UAS.RE-505, for both STS-01 and STS-02. Only four entities appear on that list and only two of them cover both scenarios. It also appears on the Dutch government's list of examination institutions designated by the Ministry of Infrastructure and Water Management. Two further reference numbers shown on its own site, NL-RTF-505/4 and NLD-OAT-223-02G, are self-published and do not appear on any authority list we could find.
Practical detail
Based in Duiven, near Arnhem, where the practical flying takes place, with a separate rural training location used for BVLOS work and a simulated operations centre. Candidates must bring their own drone for the STS VLOS practical; for introductory flying lessons the aircraft is supplied. Online theory is sold in eight languages, but the practical and specific-category training is delivered in Dutch only.
