How to become a pilot

The credential is called the Unmanned Aircraft Pilot Licence (UAPL), with a minimum age of 16. The path runs through a CAAS-approved training organisation, followed by a CAAS theory test and a practical assessment by the training organisation's own authorised flight examiner, then a final application through the CAPELS portal.

CAAS does not regulate what training organisations charge for the course itself.

About the regulation

Civil drone operation in Singapore is regulated by the Civil Aviation Authority of Singapore (CAAS) under the Air Navigation Act and the Air Navigation (Unmanned Aircraft Operations) Regulations 2019. A licence is required for any commercial or non-recreational flying regardless of weight, and for recreational flying above 7 kilograms; drones between 1.5 and 7 kilograms flown recreationally need only a shorter Basic Training course, and drones under 1.5 kilograms need no licence at all.

Fines for unlicensed commercial operation can reach 50,000 Singapore dollars or two years in prison.

Confirm current requirements on the authority's official site before you enroll or fly.

This page is for general orientation and may not reflect the latest regulatory changes. It is not legal advice: confirm current rules, fees, and permitted zones with your country's civil aviation authority before you fly.
