Have you ever fancied yourself as a professional drone operator? Have you been impressed the kinds of footage that drones are being used to capture and wanted to find out how it’s done? This new and expanding field of drone aviation would be an exciting one to get in to as remote-control drone culture spreads around the globe.
UAVAir, the UK’s leading drone training school, is coming to Brighton for a 3 day course at the Plumpton Racecourse in Lewes on the 2nd of November which organisers have praised for it’s suitability for this kind of activity: “the venue has fantastic facilities and makes for a great location for our candidates.”
UAVAir are interested in how these new aviation technologies can be embedded into the existing operations of organisations, whether it be capturing footage for entertainment purposes from a new angle, exploring dangerous sites before demolition, surveilling areas for security purposes, or for organising drone races in your local area.
