Drone Training – Beginner • Intermediate • Pro

Step-by-step training program with clear descriptions and bullet-point key specifications. Fully responsive and presentation-ready.

Level 1

Beginner Training — Foundations & Manual LOS

Start with fundamentals: identify drone components, understand controllers and safety features, and build a safety-first mindset. Practical drills focus on stable hover, gentle takeoff/landing, and orientation using box & circle patterns. You’ll also learn pre-flight checks and basic emergency responses.

Key Specifications

  • Drones: Nano/Micro (≤1 kg) trainers
  • Modes: Angle/Self‑leveling, AltHold (optional GPS hold)
  • Environment: Indoor cage or calm outdoor field
  • Practice: 10–15 flight hours + 3–5 hrs simulator

Description

  • Introduction to parts (FC, ESC, motors, props, LiPo)
  • Regulation & safety protocol, checklists
  • Hover at eye level, throttle control, target landings
  • Simple patterns: squares & circles for pitch/roll/yaw

Level 2

Intermediate Training — GPS, GCS & Camera Basics

Combine pitch, roll, throttle, and yaw smoothly while flying outdoors. Learn GPS modes (Loiter, RTL) and get hands-on with GCS (Mission Planner/QGroundControl). Start simple aerial photo/video capture and understand telemetry, logs, and post‑flight debrief.

Key Specifications

  • Drones: Micro/Small (1–3 kg) with GPS
  • Modes: Loiter/GPS Hold, AltHold, RTL; basic Auto mission
  • Environment: Outdoor field with geofencing/safety cones
  • Practice: 15–30 flight hours + mission planning time

Description

  • Figure‑8, orbits, continuous pattern routines
  • Waypoint planning & telemetry reading in GCS
  • RTH/failsafe testing; wind & obstacle awareness
  • Intro to gimbal control and shot composition

Level 3

Pro / Advanced — Feild Ops, Emergencies & Exams

Specialize in field tasks like tatcical ISR, mapping/surveying, and inspection work. Practice emergency scenarios (signal loss, low‑battery landings, GPS/compass anomalies), develop SOPs, and prepare for certification exams with simulator drills and theory refresh.

Key Specifications

  • Drones: Small/Medium (2–7 kg); RTK optional
  • Modes: Auto missions, terrain follow, advanced RTL
  • Software: Pix4D / DroneDeploy / Agisoft basics
  • Practice: 30–60+ flight hours including simulator

Description

  • Photogrammetry planning (GSD, overlap) & data QC
  • Complex shots: tracking, coordinated rotations
  • Emergency handling & incident reporting workflow
  • Team ops: pilot/observer roles, client workflows
