Introduction to Drones
Learn how to fly a drone for fun! This
beginner’s course is designed with the
drone enthusiasts in mind and includes
everything you need to get started with
drones. We will cover basic laws, safety,
as well as flight controls and where you
can fly legally. The instructor will teach
you how to download photos and videos
from the drone. You will need to bring
a smart phone, as you’ll use it to control
your drone (unless you buy a remote
separately). If you bring your own laptop,
the instructor will show you how to transfer
the photos/videos as well. Students must
sign a liability waiver prior to class. This
is a hands-on flight training course, and a
drone is included in the cost that you will
keep. CEUs:
