Due to the explosive development of unmanned aircraft systems (UASs) technology worldwide, the UAS is becoming increasingly relevant for applications in both military and civilian fields. Good progress in the number and scope of unmanned aerial vehicles utilization has led to a high demand for pilots/operators of unmanned aerial vehicles. Thus, this profession began to gain in popularity in aviation. First, this article outlines the UAS classification considering the ICAO standards as well as unique characteristics. Futhermore, taking into consideration the current requirements for the qualification of the UAV pilot/operator issued by the aviation authorities of the USA, Great Britain, China and Russia, general and special qualification requirements, such as professional qualities, medical requirements, psychological screening, training requirements, operation and cooperation experience, are analyzed.
