Overview

Booking this lesson is not just about “learning to fly”, but accessing the know-how of an elite UAS (Unmanned Aircraft Systems) Pro. Here is what makes this experience unique:

Flight Instructor Experience: You will not be guided by a simple enthusiast, but by a certified Flight Instructor. My teaching methodology is designed to give you the utmost confidence at the controls in record time, eliminating any anxiety of error.

At the service of Public Safety: I put my technology and experience at the disposal of law enforcement every day.

Search and Rescue (SAR) Expert: I specialize in search and rescue missions.

Professional Grade Technology: You will have the rare opportunity to see in action (and test) advanced thermal equipment and sensors used to find missing people and animals, going far beyond the capabilities of standard commercial drones.

What to expect

Prepare to change your perspective. Here are the stages of the meeting:

1. Welcome Briefing (15 min) : We will meet at the selected viewing point. I'll show you the drone up close, explain how thermal and GPS technology works and see together the basic rules for flying in total safety and privacy.

2. Familiarization with the Controls : You will pick up the radio control yourself.

3. Takeoff and Flight Assist: You will experience the thrill of the first takeoff. You will learn how to stabilize the drone in the air, rotate it and move it into space. I will guide you in performing smooth maneuvers to get spectacular footage.

4. "Aerial Director" session: Once we get familiar, we'll move on to the creative part. I will teach you the tricks of professionals to take symmetrical photos and record cinematic videos (orbits, side slides, "drones") capturing the beauty of the surrounding landscape.

5. Landing and Debriefing: We will conclude the lesson with a precision landing. I will immediately deliver the original files (high-resolution photos and videos) recorded during the session, so you can share them right away.
