Overview

I believe in proper flight planning, and I believe that it is an overlooked skill within the current drone education system.

Flight Planning can literally be the difference between saving a life and losing one, and it's important to know how to do it properly so as to avoid any such circumstances!

This course teaches you everything that proper flight planning entails: how to find legal documents, where to learn about regulations, how to read aeronautical charts, and even more. In this course, we dive into everything to do with drone planning that you could possibly imagine, right down to the absolute basics!

Some of the topics that will be looked at include technical drone information, aviation documentation, air law, airspaces, aeronautical charts, risk assessment, emergency response, and so much more - and it's done to an international standard.

My name is Josh. I am a SACAA accredited drone instructor. Having worked in the industry for over 4 years, I know what information is lacking in the industry and I know that it's the most vital information of all!

If you fly drones, you should know how to plan your missions properly, period. If you are still nervous to fly by yourself, or you want to better understand flight planning, join me on this course.
