In my experience, giving a boilerplate manual normally ensures they won't work through the process, internalize the concepts, or actually follow any procedures outlined. I am looking at the course progression to be a bridge to something like the AUVSI Top Operator certification. Thanks.

There will be approximately six-seven non-credit continuing-ed classes. Anywhere from two to eight hours. Really undetermined at this time. I am not an academic, I am simply the curriculum developer and adjunct instructor. I was told to develop the course and determine the number of contact...

Hands-on time is something we will be doing as many do not have the confidence to "develop" their own skills without a solid base line. ATC monitoring is not a normal requirement here in the states. But as an ATP helicopter pilot and an Air Traffic Controller, I couldn't agree more with the...

Assuming normal DJI config. Left stick down, it'll hesitate then descend.

Hello all, I have been approached by a local college to help develop 5 - 6 drone centric classes (non-credit, nights/weekend stuff). The school currently has a Part 107 prep weekend course. The instructors have been approached after every class with the "Now what?", "What's next?" questions by...

See photo above. Three Lume Cubes on the M2P or use the M2Dual spotlight attachment. You?

I screen record during the flight and then going back to get the temps in post-flight processing. It's a pain at first but has become part of the workflow. Now, if can just remember to actually START the recording that would be very helpful.

I have an M2P and M2Dual. I attached 3 Lume Cubes to the M2P (see photo) and flew it against the M2Duak light attachment. The Lume Cubes have more total lumens, 4500 vs 2400, but the Dual's light is much more focused and tended to illuminate objects more cleanly.

How do you light up the night?

Older Phantom 2 Vision+ a few years back. It did get a bit wonky inside the trestle and I chicken out.
