<\/a><\/p>\nDrone education and proper training have never been more essential. President Trump signed the FAA Reauthorization Act of 2018 this past October, implementing new regulations on commercial and recreational drone operators across the country. Violation of FAA regulations could result in significant civil penalties, in some cases as fines up to $20,000. Taking a class with UAV Coach can help ensure your drone flights are compliant and safe.<\/p>\n
This class is recommended for a variety of skill levels, because it\u2019s tailored to the student\u2019s skill level and goals. Newcomers to the drone industry who are just getting into flying, experienced drone pilots who want to gain flight confidence and knowledge, and commercial drone pilots who want to professionalize their operations can all benefit from the class.<\/p>\n
In-person training is a new addition to UAV Coach\u2019s existing drone training curriculum. Since 2016, the team has been operating Drone Pilot Ground School, a leading Part 107 online test prep course that prepares U.S. drone pilots to pass the FAA Aeronautical Knowledge Test and receive a Remote Pilot Certificate.<\/p>\n
\u201cOver the last two years, we’ve helped thousands of pilots get certified through our online test prep course,\u201d says Alan Perlman, UAV Coach CEO & Founder. \u201cAnd while the FAA doesn’t require flight proficiency as part of their certification process, enough students expressed interest in learning how to manage their sUAS flight operations and getting more comfortable with the DJI software that it made sense for us to start offering in-person flight training classes.\u201d<\/p>\n
Students do not need to have their own drone to take the course. UAV Coach\u2019s highly vetted team of instructors provide a DJI Mavic, Phantom, or Inspire drone for the class. Many of the instructors have drone pilot experience in industries such as real estate, construction, and public safety.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019re proud of the impressive team of instructors we\u2019ve brought on board,\u201d says Lana Axelrod, UAV Coach Chief Operating Officer. \u201cThey\u2019re passionate about the industry and excited to share their knowledge with students.\u201d<\/p>\n
During an in-person flight training class, students can expect to:
\n\u2022 Meet with an expert and friendly instructor in a convenient outdoor location, like a park or athletic field
\n\u2022 Learn on a popular DJI drone model provided by the instructor
\n\u2022 Have 30-45 minutes of hands-on flying time to master orientation, basic flight maneuvers and more advanced flight skills
\n\u2022 Walk through the DJI Go 4 app
\n\u2022 Learn how to handle obstacles such as lost GPS, low battery charge or emergencies
\n\u2022 Practice flying under various intelligent flight modes
\n\u2022 Capture photo and video at your flight location
\n\u2022 Understand best practices of being a safe drone pilot
\n\u2022 Ask questions about regulations, software, flight operations management, and more<\/p>\n
According to the most recent data available, at least 2,429 certified drone pilots live in New York (FAA 2017 Civil Airmen Statistics).
