The dLIS project is taking off. With the first module, “Drones" the Federal Office of Civil Aviation (FOCA) marks a significant milestone in its digitalization strategy. Step by step, dLIS will simplify the application process for various target groups – from drone operators to pilots, as well as air traffic control and maintenance personnel.
First Milestone: Drone Pilots and UAS Organizations
In December 2024, the first dLIS module, "Drones" went live. It targets drone operators (individuals and companies) as well as drone pilots and replaces the previous platform, UAS.gate. Its integration with the dExam learning and examination platform enables online exams, on-site theoretical exams, and online training.
Simpler. Faster. Digital.
The goal of dLIS is clear: to simplify licensing applications in the long term. Every step – from registration to application submission – is digitally supported and managed through workflows.
Gradual Expansion Starting in 2025
In 2025, dLIS will be progressively expanded. First, online payments will be introduced. Next, the registration process for theoretical exams will become available. Subsequently, additional license applications will be offered for flight crew (FCL), maintenance personnel (AML), and air traffic controllers (ATCO/SRT). Finally, UAS authorizations will be integrated.
