Free 3-Minute Diagnosis: 'Am I Suited for Drone Operation?' Launches with 3D Experience of Practical Exam Pass/Fail Criteria

Le Ciel DRONE Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Nagoya City, Aichi Prefecture; Representative: Daiki Ukai), a drone school operator based in Aichi Prefecture, announced on June 16, 2026, the launch of two free learning resources for individuals considering obtaining Japan’s national drone pilot license: the 'Drone Operation Type Diagnosis' and the '3D Animation Experience of the Practical Exam.' These services are accessible free of charge and without registration via smartphone or computer.

Background: High Interest, But Hesitation to Take the First Step

Since unmanned aircraft pilots became a nationally certified profession in 2022, public interest in drones has steadily increased. However, many prospective learners express uncertainty, asking, 'Am I suited for drone operation?'

In particular, feedback regarding the practical exam (completion assessment) has highlighted difficulties: 'flight patterns and procedures are hard to understand,' 'difficult to memorize,' and 'paper materials make it hard to visualize aircraft movements in 3D.' To address these learning barriers, the company developed two free entry-point tools.

① Drone Operation Type Diagnosis (Free)

By answering 15 questions about everyday life—such as driving, travel planning, and navigating crowds—users receive a diagnosis of four key traits: 'safety awareness,' 'spatial recognition,' 'composure,' and 'preparedness.' Results are presented as one of seven operation types. The content is designed for even those with no prior drone experience, helping users understand how their strengths apply to drone piloting. Results also include a bonus 'personality type' (MBTI-style) and can be shared on social media to compare with friends.

② 3D Animation Experience of the Practical Exam (Free)

This tool recreates the practical exam maneuvers—square flight, figure-eight flight, and emergency response—from both the pilot’s perspective and an overhead view using 3D animation. It clearly visualizes penalty zones, failure thresholds, and distance benchmarks, allowing users to form a precise mental image of what the actual exam entails before taking it.

③ Theory Exam Practice Questions (Free for 3 Questions; Full Access for Enrolled Students)

The company also offers a theory exam practice question bank aligned with Japan’s Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism (MLIT) guidelines. Anyone can try up to three questions for free; further access requires payment. Students enrolled in the school receive full free access.

Key Features of the Service

While many providers offer theory exam question sets, offering free 'operation type diagnosis' and '3D practical exam experience' is still rare, making this service highly distinctive. The company aims to make drones more accessible by creating an engaging, low-barrier entry point: 'First, experience it, then get excited about it.'

Executive Statement

'Drones becoming a national qualification has expanded opportunities for operators. Yet, we’ve seen many hesitate, wondering, 'Can I really do this?' That’s exactly why we want people to first experience the world of drones—freely and enjoyably. If this diagnosis or 3D experience sparks a sense of excitement and the thought, 'I want to try this,' that will be the most important first step.

Above all, we value 'safety.' As drones become more widespread, it’s essential to increase the number of pilots capable of safe and reliable flight operations. Through enjoyable learning tools, we aim to train as many safety-conscious pilots as possible and help create a safer, accident-free sky.' (Daiki Ukai, Representative Director, Le Ciel DRONE Co., Ltd.)

Future Plans

The company will continue to expand its educational content to eliminate learners’ anxieties and support enjoyable, successful preparation for national certification.
