China: But it lacks qualified pilots to fly them, according to The Japan Times. Young men in particular are flocking to drone schools such as TT Aviation Technology Co., one of more than 40 in China, hoping to land a potentially lucrative job in an exciting new field. China is already the world biggest drone manufacturer, churning out remote-controlled flying machines that range from 3-D urban mappers to tear-gas spraying models for police. TT Aviation offers a two-week intensive course for 8,000 yuan where students learn regulations and how to pilot using simulators and real drones. Some experienced pilots bring in double that amount, he said. At the end of the course, they can try to earn the license required by China Civil Aviation Administration to operate drones that are heavier than 7 kg and fly higher than 120 meters . Xu Honggang, 24, believes the license will open doors to piloting jobs that make at least 5,000 Chinese yuan per month , higher than average.
