《5 Minutes with AOPA-China》是由中国AOPA国际事务部出品的全新音频播客栏目。在这里，你可以学习航空知识，了解最热的通航话题。希望你们能喜欢 Nick 和 Claire的节目，愉快的享受这五分钟的美好时光。

今天，我们很荣幸邀请到了民航局飞标司曾处长作为本期5 Minutes with AOPA-China的采访嘉宾，一起聊聊无人机驾驶员那些事儿。

随着无人机行业在中国的兴起，截至2018年11月13日，全国持证的民用无人机驾驶员已达到43400 人。中国因此也成为了世界上拥有最多无人机驾驶员的国家。

那到底如何成为一名无人机驾驶员呢？用曾处的话来说，就是训练，考试，拿证。首先学习理论知识和实践操作，达到一定小时数之后，可参加考试，考试通过便可拿到驾驶证。

说到驾驶证，有人会提出疑问：现在无人机驾驶证分合格证和执照，它们有什么区别？实际上，这两者的效用是完全相同的。只是，前者是由中国AOPA颁发，后者是由民航局颁发。2018年9月之前，合格证的持有者只需在“云执照”上发送申请，合格证便可自动转换成执照；但现在则需要重新进行考试。

提到考试，大家可能会问，获取执照的考试会不会更难？曾处说，难度是有细微变化的，但这种调整也是为了适应无人机技术发展的需要。技术的发展日新月异，作为驾驶员必须要有能力掌控好自己操作的无人机。

另外，值得骄傲的是，自2016年以来，中国就开始应用了“云执照”系统。驾驶员们的飞行小时数和飞行等级实时更新，电子飞行记录本上的内容和数据储存在云端，也不易丢失。在某种程度上，这也减小了伪造飞行小时数的可能性。而且，面对如此巨大的数据库，“云执照”系统也大大减轻了工作人员的负担。目前，世界上只有中国在运行这个系统。我们将不断按照国际标准对它进行升级和推广，希望在2020年之前，国际民航组织（ICAO）其他缔约国也能够使用“云执照”系统，感受它的便利。

2019新年倒计时开始啦~ 下周5 Minutes with AOPA China 将献上新年特辑，敬请期待！

以下是英文部分

We are very glad to have Mr. Zeng Ming from flight standard department of CAAC here. Let’s get to know something about civil Unmanned Aircraft System.

Q: Could you please introduce yourself, Mr. Zeng?

A: I am very happy to be a part of your podcast. Currently I am the deputy director of the general aviation division of flight standard department of CAAC. Before I came to CAAC, I was a captain flying in China Southern Airlines. Now I’m in charge of flight license issues and UAS affairs, and also general aviation operations of all sides.

Q: How many civil UAS pilots are there in China?

A: As of November 13, 2018, the number of civil UAS pilot licenses is 43440.

Q: What is the difference between certificate and license? If I am a certificate holder, how can I renew my certificate to license?

A: The certificate is issued by AOPA-China, while the license is issued by CAAC. If you are a certificate holder, before September of 2018, your certificate could be renewed automatically by applying on the e-license system. Now, you have to take the exam again to convert your certificate to license.

Q: How can I become a civil UAS pilot?

A: Simply put, train, and exam. You get your sufficient hours of training both on the ground and practical. And then take the exam. Pass the exam and get your license.

Q: When did e-license come into being? Would you enlighten us the features of e-license?

A: E-license has been an amazing system since 2016. First of all, it is convenient. You log your hours easily and renew your ratings easily.  And to some degree, it minimizes the tendency of fabricating the flight hours. And it saves time and energy for our officers to manage such a big data base.

Q: Do you happen to  know how many other countries have this e-license or is China the only one applying this system?

A: Yes, China is the only country in the world using e-license system, and we are promoting it in international standard, hopefully, by the end of 2020, the whole world or all the contracted states of ICAO would be required to meet the quality of e-license.

That’s for the end of today’s 5 Minutes with AOPA-China. Any topics about e-license, UAS pilot , GA news, anything that may wet your appetite as well as ours, please let us know. New year is around the corner, we’ll have a special episode of new year greetings and wishes for you all. See you next week.
