As the next step from gaining the CAA Permission for Commercial Operations (PfCO), the OSC Volume 3 is essential for individuals and companies needing to operate with reduced distance separation compared to what the standard Permission for Commercial Operations allows.

A reduced distance permission has huge benefits across construction.

Matthew Lee, Director at UDT, said: “Qualified operators will be well aware of the benefits of holding a PfCO from the CAA.

“However with the PfCO also comes restrictions.

“The OSC Vol 3 or sometimes referred to as an “exemption” is the next step to gaining permissions that are above what the standard PfCO allows.

“These enhanced permissions may be operating closer to uninvolved persons or flying higher than the standard PfCO allows.

“Our OSC course gives an insight into how to write the documentation to support this application process and what evidence to submit to the CAA.”
