By flying indoors, you do not need to contend with wind or other weather conditions, and it allows you to focus solely on controlling the aircraft. The course will bring you through a series of increasingly difficult exercises and have you flying through an obstacle course by the end of the day. This approach develops three primary proficiencies:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Identifying flight system orientation<\/li>\n<li>Accounting for issues related to depth perception<\/li>\n<li>Flying without dependency on GPS<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>These are the essential skills needed to create the safest, most proficient remote pilots anywhere and these basic skills are easily transferred into more advanced drone flight systems. This course creates safe, capable pilots who can confidently fly the aircraft when there is a situational requirement for manual flight control.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Schedule:<\/strong><br \/>\nFeb. 6, 2020<br \/>\nThursday, 8:30 a.m. &#8211; 5 p.m.<br \/>\n<strong>Tuition:<\/strong> $395<\/p>\n<p><strong>For additional information or to register:<\/strong><br \/>\nVisit \u2014 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hvcc.edu\/programs\/workforce-development\/training\/drones.html#drones\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">www.hvcc.edu\/workforce<\/a><br \/>\nCall \u2014 518-629-4111<br \/>\nEmail \u2014\u00a0<a href=\"mailto:workforce@hvcc.edu\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">workforce@hvcc.edu<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Published:<\/strong>\u00a0Mon, 06 Jan 2020 12:55:05 +0000 by\u00a0l.macpherson<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; Discover drone-enabled possibilities!
