Description
In this course, you will master the abilities needed to operate a fixed-wing UAV through both Line-of-Sight (LOS) and First-Person-View (FPV) perspectives in a safe and effective way. Although different brands and models of fixed-wing aircraft provide varying performance, handling characteristics, and control interfaces, all require the same fundamental set of skills that are taught in this course. This course combines theoretical lessons with hands-on simulated training exercises to take you from performing basic maneuvers to conducting realistic field operation scenarios.
