In Person Flight Training Introduction

Hello everyone and welcome to ASW drone ground school. For this class we will meet at the Arapahoe County Fairgrounds Event Center in Aurora Colorado. This two day class starts at 6 am. Drones are provided by the instructor. We will fly the Mavic 3. Due to liability and insurance students may not bring their own aircraft.

Students are not expected to master the flight maneuvers in two days. What is expected is students will give 100% effort in learning to be safe pilots. It is also expected that students will fly with safety first and foremost in mind. Unsafe and reckless behavior will not be tolerated and will result in expulsion from class.
