A2 exam
How to get a drone licence in 30 days
With 20–30 minutes of daily practice, most pilots complete A1/A3 within a month and start A2 preparation immediately after.
Contents
1. What “licence in 30 days” means
In 30 days you can realistically pass A1/A3 and start A2 prep — not always finish both official exams. Budget 20–30 minutes daily.
2. Days 1–7: A1/A3 foundation
All nine NAA topics in learning mode. Target ≥70% per topic before quick tests.
3. Days 8–14: A1/A3 mocks
Three full 40-question timed simulations. Book the NAA exam at ≥80%.
4. Days 15–21: pass A1/A3, start A2
After A1/A3, begin A2 meteorology and ground risk immediately.
5. Days 22–30: A2 intensive
Topic tests plus two full 30/30 mocks. Plan NAA A2 booking when stable ≥80%.
6. Budget
NAA fees vary by state — see /pricing for A2STS prep.
