Congested Area Training
Practical & Theory Course - £899 per person
Does you company operate in complex and high risk locations, such as in towns and cities, near railway tracks, close to motorways, or at nuclear power stations? If so, how prepared are your pilots to operate in these areas?
NQE training is the minimum required set of training to help ensure that your pilots are safe. But how effective is this at eliminating incidents. According to AAIB statistics, not very effective. There have been countless incidents which could have been avoided, and this usually results in the drone crashing to the ground and a large insurance claim. There are only two ways to avoid accidents in your drone operation:
Hire experienced pilots
Hire more junior pilots and provide them with a more comprehensive set of training
Fleet UAS provides comprehensive training from an instructor who has surveyed the highest profile buildings in the UK, including Westminster, London. He has over 50 hours of logged experience operating on the railways, and has operated as close as 10m from people and property not under his control
If you want to get the very best possible OSC distances, or you want to reduce the likelihood of insurance claims, our congested area training will equip you with a set of skills which will ensure your pilots are operating at peak performance. Enquire today to find out more
