Get ready to gain your drone wings on this two hour, one-to-one drone flying lesson! An ideal session for novice drone pilots, or for those who just fancy trying it out, it’s run by certified commercial CAA drone pilots at the Cricket Club in the Hampshire village of Chawton, based near Alton - famously known for being the one time place of residence of one of the country’s literary greats, Jane Austen - a truly outstanding backdrop from which to learn the basics of flying drones safely. And as your tutors for this lesson have extensive knowledge and experience with piloting drones and unmanned aerial vehicles, you can be assured that you are learning from the very best around. As well as getting familiar with The Drone Code, safe flying guidelines and how to use the DJI Go App, you’ll also be taught - using either the DJI Phantom or Mavic Pro drones, or your own drone if you want to bring that along to the lesson - how to take off, control and land the drone. And because the lesson is that bit longer, it means you’ll have plenty of practical time to try out your newfound skills, but also take on more advanced techniques such as tracking and quick shot modes. Overall, this is a fantastic lesson for beginner drone pilots to really learn their craft!
