Pilot license · Venezuela
Do you need a pilot license to fly in Venezuela?
Pilot license
Yes, required
Even for recreational use or as an observer you must be at least 13 years old and hold a certificate of completion from an INAC-approved RPA course (CIA): owning the drone isn't enough. Full pilot licences (age 18+, flight hours, medical certificate) are required for other RPA classes, but recreational Class 1 (Mini) is exempt.
Verify officially before flying
