It also sets up a virtual “geofence” so that the drone cannot fly more than a few feet away from you. In Beginner Mode, the speed and gain of the controller are throttled so that you never lose control of the drone. Headless Mode makes the drone orient relative to the position of the remote controller, making it easier for you to know which way is forward, back, left, or right. If you want a model that’s made for learning, you should be on the lookout for a model that has either a Headless Mode or a Beginner Mode. The great thing about these cheap drones is that they are usually so compact and lightweight that they can survive a few crashes before they start to suffer any lasting damage. ![]() There are a lot of beginner-friendly drones that cost less than $100. They might not have features that are specifically included to ease the learning process of drone flight. Not only will you end feeling bad when you (inevitably) crash your drone, but most high-end drones aren’t designed to cater to beginner drone pilots. Practice with a cheap, easy-to-learn drone firstīeginner drone pilots are advised not to practice on some high-end drone that costs more than a thousand dollars. The following are the basic steps to follow to turn a beginner into a full-fledged drone pilot. How does one go about the process of being a drone pilot? Aside from developing the requisite skills and knowledge needed to safely operate a drone, there are also a few federal requirements to satisfy. Thus, being a drone pilot is now aspired to not just for the fun of flying a drone, but also because of a sense of prestige for the title However, that is what drone pilots are considered now – airmen, in their own right. ![]() A few years ago, no one would have thought that a person with no formal aviation training could be considered an airman. ![]()
