These schools train drone pilots in Panama, from first flights to commercial work. Programs, schedules, and pricing change often, so contact each school directly for current details.
Panama's AAC issues an RPA-category remote-pilot flight license, and it administers a theoretical and practical evaluation; commercial drones must be registered, while recreational drones under 250 grams are generally exempt. Beyond that, the AAC does not publish the granular requirements, such as minimum age, medical class, or training hours, in a readable format online; the governing rule is posted only as a scanned document.
Confirm the current requirements directly with the AAC before you enroll.
Panama's Autoridad Aeronáutica Civil (AAC) regulates drones under the Norma de las Aeronaves Pilotadas a Distancia, approved by Resolution 004-2021-NRA-DG-AAC, published in Official Gazette No. 29276 on May 3, 2021. RPAS/RPA must be registered with the AAC, and drones flown for commercial purposes must be operated by a pilot holding an RPA-category flight license; recreational drones under 250 g are generally exempt from registration and licensing.
