Eighteen RPAS operating companies, have met to create AVERPAS, Venezuelan Association of RPAS, with the aim of organizing and structuring this industry in the country, and promote the development of the nation through this technology.
AVERPAS will seek that all the companies of the country belonging to this sector are attached to law under the regulations of the National Institute of Civil Aeronautics (INAC) and other competent agencies of the nation, in addition to being aligned with the mandates of OACI (Organization of International Civil Aviation), such as circular 328 and document 10019.
Manuel Pérez Pandavila, CEO of UPDRONE company, a company certified by the INAC under the number ROC: 0002, who will lead in its first year the association AVERPAS, has explained that it has been a historical meeting that has managed to group those who use of this technology in Venezuela and seek to consolidate, through this Association, a legal way to perform its functions. “We are convinced that this will be the beginning of a force that brings together all those involved in this sector and will contribute to the development of the nation in different areas,” he said. “We want to show that we are interested in providing this technology for the development of the country and reduce negative situations linked to actions outside the law,” he said.

The creation of AVERPAS marks an important beginning not only in Venezuela, if not in the Latin American region, as it is the first organization that consolidates drone or RPAS operating companies.
They consider that the future of humanity is in this technology and its applications will provide incalculable benefits for everyone of the country. In the same way, they assure that other companies and independent users will join to form part of AVERPAS.
Also, during the meeting held to create this Association, it was proposed to establish an area dedicated to providing search and rescue support in the event of a natural disaster, an air disaster or any other event that requires the use of RPAS technology. Thus, they have agreed to call it Drone SAR Venezuela, based on the aviation rescue instrument.
