DQ Conversion to Type
You need to have an RPC-L1 Aeroplane qualification to begin this course, as this will build upon the fundamentals of fixed wing flying to convert you to type on our impressive DeltaQuad Evo RPAS. What’s more, you will also learn how to use the exceptional Auterion Mission Planner, which is the brains of the operation when using DeltaQuad. This is a VLOS course only, although we have the ability to further expand on this into the BVLOS environment, provided the correct regulatory approvals are established. Experience this cutting-edge VTOL RPAS now and let us show you how it can further benefit your operations.

DeltaQuad Conversion to Type Training - Frequently Asked Questions
What is the DQ Conversion to Type course?
This specialist course is designed to transition qualified fixed-wing drone pilots onto the cutting-edge DeltaQuad (DQ) Evo RPAS (Remotely Piloted Aircraft System). The training builds upon your fundamental knowledge of fixed-wing flying to give you type-specific competency on this highly efficient platform.
What specific hardware and software will I learn to use?
You will learn to pilot the DeltaQuad Vertical Take-Off and Landing (VTOL) platform. In addition to the aircraft itself, you will be trained to on the Auterion Mission Planner software, which serves as the core operational “brains” behind the DeltaQuad system.
What qualifications do I need to hold before enrolling?
To be eligible for the DQ conversion course, you must hold a valid Remote Pilot Certificate Level 1 (RPC-L1) Aeroplane qualification, as the course directly builds upon standard fixed-wing principles.
I have a multi-rotor (Rotorcraft) qualification. Can I take this course?
The DQ Conversion explicitly requires an Aeroplane (fixed-wing) qualification foundation. If you only hold a Rotorcraft qualification, you will need to complete the necessary conversion or bridging modules to attain your RPC-L1 Aeroplane discipline first.
What type of flight environments does this qualification cover?
By default, this is a VLOS (Visual Line of Sight) course. It provides you with the skills and certification required to safely operate the DeltaQuad Evo within sight of the remote pilot.
Can this course be expanded to include BVLOS (Beyond Visual Line of Sight)?
Yes. While the core course is VLOS-focused, Eagle Eye Innovations has the capability to expand this training into the BVLOS environment, provided that the operator has the correct regulatory approvals (such as an approved UK SORA application) established.
Why choose the DeltaQuad for commercial operations?
The DeltaQuad combines the vertical take-off and landing flexibility of a multi-rotor with the long-range endurance and speed of a traditional fixed-wing aircraft. This makes it exceptionally valuable for mapping, surveillance, and long-range utility inspections.
