perhaps the standard nav type brevet might have been more appropriate? After all, there are plenty of nav captains and/or directors of warfare about who have also led complex air ops on other aircraft (nimrod/GR4/AWACS for example) and let's face it the RPAS 'pilots' are just cutting out the middle man..
Some of the Airships looked at that option. The problem is, these guys are
de facto pilots under the requirements of ICAO to fly in International Airspace under effectively IFR - so they needed to be badged as pilots or it would look at bit odd.
Make sense?
