Manual Piloting of Multicopters

Description

In this course, you will master the abilities needed to operate a multicopter UAV through both Line-of-Sight (LOS) and First-Person-View (FPV) perspectives using Position-Hold and Altitude-Hold flight modes. Although different brands and models of multicopters provide varying performance, handling characteristics, and control interfaces, all require the same basic 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.
