Learning drone flying
So, you’ve made the leap and acquired a drone, fueling your excitement to conquer the skies solo. However, before you embark on your airborne adventure, there’s a fundamental journey to undertake: learning the art of drone flight.
In this guide, we’ll navigate you through the initial steps of mastering drone flight. Additionally, we’ll introduce you to AUAV’s specialized courses tailored for aspiring drone pilots.
Before your drone ever leaves the ground, ensuring safety and legality is paramount. In Canada, the Canadian Aviation Regulations (CARs) govern these rules. As a newcomer, three vital points must be etched in your understanding:
- Registering your drone with Transport Canada is a prerequisite.
- Your drone must sport a registration number label.
- Acing the Small Basic Exam is essential.
Understanding Your Drone:
Each drone carries distinct specifications – battery life, camera quality, payload capacity, and more. Grasping these particulars is crucial before venturing into open skies.
Read the Manual:
This might sound simple, but flying drones is new for everyone. The people who make drones are still learning the best ways to build and use them. If you’re learning to fly a drone, read the book that comes with it. This will help you know how to use it safely.
Learning How to Control:
Most drones operate similarly, necessitating a solid grasp of maneuvering before progressing to advanced techniques. These basics are vital for familiarizing yourself with drone operation. At AUAV, our teachings encompass general drone model knowledge alongside foundational flight control techniques, empowering you to venture confidently into the field.
Manufacturer Insights:
For in-depth knowledge about your drone model, turn to the manufacturer. They’re obligated to provide guidance. Notably, manufacturers like DJI offer dedicated videos for mastering their drone models.
Weather Consideration:
Optimal flying conditions entail clear skies and gentle winds, especially during the learning phase. Prioritize safety by either visually assessing weather conditions or using reliable weather sources.
