HANDS-ON DRONE FLIGHT TRAINING
Here at V1DroneMedia, we know the importance of getting hands-on experience flying the drone with professional guidance during your drone pilot training.
Our company was born after a long career in manned aviation, which stresses the importance of flight hours for a pilot’s training and passing ‘check rides’ with instructors before flying as a fully accredited pilot.
This is why we are now offering Hands-On Drone Flight Training, tailored to your skill level and desired goals. During a typical session you will:
- Meet with our expert drone flight instructor at a convenient outdoor location
- Learn to fly on your drone or on a DJI drone provided by the instructor
- Get acquainted with the drone flight apps
- Conduct pre-flight and post-flight checklists
- Practice flying to master orientation, flight maneuvers, and more advanced flight skills
- Learn about intelligent flight modes and try them out
- Capture photos and video
- Learn about common flight issues and how to handle them
- Learn basic safety principles of flying a drone
- Ask questions about drone laws, operations, careers, and more
