Right when they say pilots license the private one is the easy one. it gets harder from there. So Endgadget and I take them at their word-Pilots license is their proposal. When they say drone license I’ll take it as drone license. Cinesimon took another view I guess.

A pilots license calls for real in air flight time. So those afraid of heights could not qualify to stand on the ground and fly that drone for a buck or two. Unintended but weird consequence of what they propose.

Yeah, sure. The real estate agent should have some kind of training and license. Not a full pilots license but something that helps ensure they understand the issues involved. Especially a real estate agent because they’ll be operating a camera drone near other homes, which will inevitably involve serious invasion of privacy issues. They should have some training on how to avoid impinging on the rights and safety of others, on when it’s necessary to end a flight, or not fly at all.
