The upcoming revision ISO/DIS 23665 (Draft International Standard) builds on the 2023 edition and introduces several key updates.

Main Changes

• New Course Types: Adds training modules for “Low-Risk VLOS Operations” to better match operational risk levels.
• Annex Restructure: Course content reorganized into tables for easier reference and modular comparison.
• Additional Normative References: Strengthened alignment with other ISO UAS standards.
• Enhanced Training Organization Requirements: New details on documentation, instructor qualification and safety management.

Continuities

• Scope and main structure remain unchanged.
• Continued focus on the knowledge-skill-attitude framework.

Practical Impact

The revision strengthens the risk-based approach and supports international harmonization. Training providers should proactively adapt their curricula to the new modular structure.
