GVC

The General Visual Line of Sight Certificate (GVC) meets the requirements of the new UK drone regulations. The UK CAA will accept the GVC as proof of remote pilot competence when applying for an Operational Authorisation, allowing you to operate under the Specific category. 

All GVC Courses include the new A2 CofC as standard.

You can find out more the GVC here.

A2 CofC

The A2 Certificate of Competence (A2 CofC) Course been introduced by the CAA to meet the drone pilot competence requirements of the Open Category of the new UK drone regulations. The A2 CofC allows remote pilots to operate under the A2 and A1 Transitional subcategories of the Open category, granting you the right to operate larger drones closer to uninvolved people.

Flight training

We have been training people to fly drones since 2013. Our expert instructors can train on multirotor and fixed-wing drones at various locations around the UK. We are also happy to come to you if you are training an internal drone team and have an appropriate location. We base our flight training on a simple instructor day rate of £960 inc VAT regardless of the number of trainees. In theory, you could put as many people as you like on a flight training day with  one instructor, but we find a maximum of 4 works well to ensure that the instructor is able to maximise the time each trainee spends flying the drones.

We can train on all common drones including DJI, Parrot, Autel and custom builds, as well as fixed-wing drones and hybrids.

We can also provide consultation if you are not sure what drone is best for you.

FPV (First Person View)

FPV drones for racing and cinematography have really come into their own over the last few years, with flight control and safety features improving rapidly and off the shelf drones reducing the build and tuning skills required to obtain great results.

However, there is often a big step up from common drones such as the DJI FPV to the flight skills required to get the best out of cinewhoops and cinelifters.

Our expert instructors can take you from basic GPS flying all the way to stabilised and full acrobatic FPV flight through the use of simulator and face-to-face training.

So whether you want to fly small drones to complement indoor shoots, or you want to powerloop the latest Arri, we can help you out!
