Looking for a Pro2 teacher in Charlotte NC

[jazzcat1]

I’ve been a fine art photographer for many years <www.Davidpalmerimages.com> and recently decided to upgrade my skill set by purchasing my first drone: Mavic Pro2. I’m beginning at ground zero and have no experience with drones…I’m trying to locate someone in the Charlotte area who could teach me how to use my particular Mavic…

It's imperative you understand that LEGAL requirements of UAS/Drones.

Recreational Drone Operators must take the TRUST

FAA TRUST Test is here!

Hey real quick. The FAA just released The Recreational UAS Safety Test (TRUST). Everyone flying their drones recreationally in the US is required to take it. The good news is it’s free, it’s fast and Pilot Institute is an authorized Testing provider. You can find more information about TRUST...

Any flight that is not 100% Recreational requires you to have your Part 107 license.

Certificated Remote Pilots including Commercial Operators

www.faa.gov

Any Drone/UAS weighing more than 249gr (yours does) must be registered with the FAA. If it's flown for anything other than Recreational it must be registered on the COMMERCIAL side of the FAA Registration Portal. Go ahead and register Commercial because that registration is good for Commercial and Recreational use. Make sure you ONLY register at the link below because that are some "sketchy" websites that offer "additional services for a fee" that you do NOT need.

In the state of NC you also must take and pass the NC DOT Aviation Division Commercial Drone Permit. Take this after you get your Part 107 because it pretty much mirrors Part 107.

NCDOT: Unmanned Aircraft Systems

I'm an FAA Safety Team Representative for your area so if you have any questions feel free to reach out to me. I'm always glad to help in any way I can.

Welcome. My $.02 is get a toy drone first to get comfortable with the controls etc. The DJIs basically fly themselves, but if something happens you need to know how to fly.

One thing to practice is have the drone face you and create muscle memory for turning it right or left etc.

Greetings from Central Florida, and on top of (or even before), learning to fly, I direct your attention to posts six (6), and eleven (11) of this thread, those two posts are spot on and would be the advice I would give as well. Best of luck.

Welcome to the forum from the dry lakeless hills of Lake City FL. An irony... I know. If lakes grew here as much as your knowledge will, Lake City would become an ocean.

Welcome again!
