Astral Aerial Training Academy

Astral Aerial Training Academy is the drone training arm of Astral Aerial Solutions, a commercial drone operator in Westlands, Nairobi, with roots in the Astral Aviation cargo airline group. It appears on the KCAA list of approved unmanned aircraft training organisations as RPAS Training Academy Ltd and runs in partnership with a South African approved drone training organisation. The academy's Remote Pilot Licence course takes about two to three weeks, covering ground school, the KCAA examinations and practical flying, and is built on the company's own field work in surveillance, mapping, crop spraying, logistics and disaster response. Training is held at its office at Western Heights in Westlands, with flying at approved sites. It suits people who want a licence plus practical knowledge of commercial operations.
