Chapter 1908 Industry Upheaval

Daxia has had a pilot certificate, also known as a drone pilot certificate, a few years ago, which is a necessary qualification certificate for engaging in drone flight operations.

Obtaining a pilot certificate requires passing a series of training and examinations. For example, during the training stage, you need to conduct on-site training at a drone training base for 15 to 30 days.

This training process covers theoretical course study, practical flight operation exercises, oral examinations, and filling in flight record books.

Different from car driver training, in the current theoretical course study stage of the local pilot certificate in Daxia, students must have an in-depth understanding of theoretical knowledge such as drone principles, aerodynamics, drone repair, assembly, maintenance, and aerial photography. Moreover, the popularization of Lingjing Ecology is ongoing at this stage. The new regulations require students to study and simulate assessments in the professional learning server of Lingjing Ecology. All data in the whole process will be checked and reviewed by AI and humans.

Once there is a situation where students do not pay attention to class or do not pay attention to class, the study time and assessment content will be forcibly increased.

For those students who give up due to difficulties, no refund will be given as long as the study time exceeds 9 hours.

In addition to subjects such as horizontal 360-degree hovering and horizontal figure-eight flight, the actual operation items also include items such as material distribution and emergency rescue equipment operation.

Countless newcomers who have just entered this field have complained: "I just want to play with drones, but how come it is more difficult than the car driver's license test!!"

"Other cities don't have this trouble. Pudong City really does everything by itself! Cao!!!"

"I just wanted to buy a DJI to play with, but DJI's customer service had to ask me to show my pilot certificate before they would deliver the goods... If I could afford the exam, I wouldn't even bother shopping online..."

"I heard that the number of drones flying over Pudong City has increased many times, but private pilots have been strictly restricted. Will Pudong City, which is open in the future, turn into another closed city?"

"Family members, who knows? Although I passed the pilot test certificate a few years ago when I didn't have to add subjects, I just received a notice that I have to take the test for a few more subjects. Otherwise, I can fly with my pilot certificate." There are only public permitted areas left for short flights..."

"I just took the pilot certificate test. Now I have to fill in the flight record book every time I fly. If there are any illegal operations during the flight, points will be deducted. I have to take a theory test. Only if I pass the test will my two points be restored! Damn! I I’d rather be fined!”

"It's still comfortable before. I just need to test two flying maneuvers, such as 360-degree spin and figure-8 flight. It's not difficult to do these special operations now. I suspect that the elite drone operators in foreign countries can only barely do it." Pass it."

The Pudong Municipal Bureau officials have heard the sentiments of these new and experienced drone pilots, but they are still progressing according to the plan in a leisurely manner.

In addition to the increased difficulty in obtaining the drone pilot's certificate, the difficulty in the motor vehicle driver's certificate examination is also increasing.

In the past, in order to allow more sales space for automatic transmission cars, various places in Daxia have "relaxed" the difficulty of the C2 driver's license test to varying degrees. Basically, you can pass with an IQ above the passing line.

In the process of Pudong City's smart city upgrade, candidates who took the exam in Pudong City ushered in a new exam syllabus that was more difficult than the previous C1 exam.

Not only do you have to take exams on traditional old items such as reversing and parking, and mid-slope emergency stops, but you also have to take courses on equipment and components such as wet and dry dual clutch, continuously variable transmission, hybrid system theory, and pure electric locomotive material theory!

It makes countless candidates wonder whether they are taking the C2 test or the special vehicle driving certificate test! ?

And it doesn’t matter that there are more exam items. Now Pudong city-wide exams, whether it is C1/C2 or B1, A1 level certificate exams, all need to pass the written test, theoretical assessment, and actually touch the car, and pass the simulation of the spiritual environment. Only after taking the exam can you take the second and third exams on the road!

And among the simulated assessments of the spiritual environment, there are a lot of realistic tracks that are comparable to high-quality racing games, such as mountainous highways, winding underground parking lots, streets and alleys, heavy rains, cross winds on bridges, etc.

Students must pass the six fixed model environments, choose two model environments of their own, and obtain a passing score or above before they can take the road test.

If you play with a computer or simulator like you did more than ten years ago, you can quickly pass the level as long as the car parameters are not too strange.

However, in the Lingjing Ecology, entering the Lingjing Ecological Lander to play these realistic tracks has greatly stimulated many novice students. Some students even do not get motion sickness and have excellent theoretical test scores. However, in the Lingjing Ecology simulator, While working on the real track, I started to get carsick and even refused to get into the driving position again.

Just because of this series of changes, the number of applicants for motor vehicle driving licenses in Pudong City has plummeted.

Those trainee drivers who pass this difficult test within a few months will, in addition to their previous driving certificates, also receive a special automatic transmission car driving certificate - CX.

Even if they get this CX driving certificate, these newbies in the internship period don’t know what the use of this thing is...

After all, after taking the driver's license test, when they go to buy a car, the salesperson will not look at the driver's certificate. Instead, they will just see the C2 certificate as before.

However, the relevant departments of the Pudong Municipal Bureau did not explain, but promoted the equipment upgrade of major motor vehicle driving test sites in and outside the city as soon as possible, as well as the training of the coach team.

Not only are these coach teams required to understand driving skills and car repair skills, but they are also required to have a high level of mastery of relevant laws and regulations, and be proficient in first aid for personnel.

Unlike those students, the Pudong Municipal Bureau treats these coaches more hardcore.

Within one year, if they fail to pass the assessment, the coach will be prohibited from teaching students to learn motor vehicle driving skills in institutions within Pudong City!

Similarly, if they pass the assessment within one year, these coaches will receive a special talent subsidy issued by the Pudong Municipal Bureau, which will be directly deposited into their personal bank accounts by the government, and every year!

In addition to the examinations for drone pilots and motor vehicle drivers, there are also qualification certificate assessments in a number of professional fields such as teaching qualification examinations, legal examinations, registered physicians, etc., which are also being upgraded.

But without exception, the difficulty of the assessment is increased, and those who have passed the test in the past will be subject to "retroactive" additional training and examinations. If these people fail, although the certificates previously awarded will not be taken back, they will not be given new upgraded certificates either.
