The week starts off with some of the smaller systems to give you the opportunity to build up muscle memory and put the theory into action on a highly responsive machine. As the week progresses, you will have the opportunity to operate a larger system (providing competency on the smaller one is reached) and you can start working in a real crew environment that is demanded by these larger pieces of technology that soars. This will give you a real sense that you are not playing with a toy, and you are now piloting a real machine.

Well that isn’t really a question that we can answer, but the highest that we can get is 400ft AGL (121m)! this is still pretty high and you can really get a new perspective and in aviation, we have some pretty strict drug and alcohol policies.

The online electronic training portal is accessible for 12 months after your course and is updated regularly to include the latest information so that you can continue to improve and use technology that soars.
The regulations are changing, however there are still quite a number of activities that you will not be able to do without the RPAS training, this includes being employed or contracted by a ReOC holder, do higher risk operations such as Night Operations, Operate above 400ft AGL or Beyond Visual Line of Sight or any of the other higher risk operations that you may want to do with this technology that soars.
