This week saw an interesting task for us – we were called out to see if we could help someone locate their Christmas drone (lost over a week ago).
The drone was small and it was being flown at distance via the ground station display. A combination of pilot error and lack of experience compounded the initial GPS issue. Not helped by insufficient battery life to effect a safe RTH either manually or system driven; resulted in the drone being lost.
Unfortunately, in the area it was being flown there was a network of drainage channels and waterways.
If you were lucky enough to get a shiny new drone this Christmas; why not book a session with us to learn how to fly safely, learn from our pilot’s experiences of common ‘pilot errors’, hints and tips and what to do when things go wrong. An hour picking our brains and learning the basics will set you off in the right direction to safe and legal flying.
