There is currently no accredited BVLOS training course available in the UK and hence our proposal represents an innovative and ambitious idea to meet a significant future flight talent requirement and we have the BVLOS experience within our team and the unique flight test facilities at the Snowdonia Aerospace Centre to make BVLOS flight training courses a realistic proposition.</ns2:abstractText></ns2:project>
