BVLOS Advanced Drone Training Course

A lot of people dream of becoming a pilot, but you can become one! 

You just have to do it.

 

As you are possibly aware Flyby Technology is at the forefront of training for the drone industry. Our instructor pilots are now heavily involved in BVLOS operations for a number of customers, including the NHS on Test Track and Trace. 

The future won't separate manned and un-manned aviation. It will all be aviation. Our aircraft are remotely piloted, and as experts in all aspects of aviation, we are perfectly placed to design systems that will work and enable unmanned aircraft to be integrated safely into the UK's airspace.

 

The immediate future of the drone industry is in work class drones. Drones that carry things to places where quad bikes can’t get to. Drones that deliver heavy items to inaccessible areas.

Pilots are needed to plan, programme and in most cases fly BVLOS missions; we are equipping pilots with the skills they need for that today. We'll cover everything you'll need to advance to the BVLOS level of drone flight.

 

If you like the idea of learning how to fly a drone in Scotland whilst sitting at the ground station in Leicester, then this opportunity is definitely for you!

 

We’re the only school offering a BVLOS training course, where you attend flight school with elite instructors, be supplied with a pilot uniform and gain your pilot wings.

 

TRAINING STANDARDS

 

Pilots who conduct BVLOS missions in the Specific or Certified categories will need to be highly skilled and trained to the highest standards. Flyby Technology is leading the World in BVLOS training. This is a full training course that will include understanding the human factors associated with remotely-piloted operations, undergoing extensive technical and simulator training and flying REAL BVLOS missions.

 

BVLOS COURSE STRUCTURE

 

Similar to pilot training for the airlines, you will wear your Flyby Pilot uniform when you attend our facility in Leicestershire over the 4 week course.  

 

During the inital 2 weeks of groundschool you will study the regulations, technical solutions and human factors challenges of BVLOS drone flying.  We then undertake a simulator phase to build your skills and confidence before moving on to a mixed phase of simulation and live flying of large VTOL aircraft.  

 

At the graduation ceremony you will be awarded your wings and certificates.

 

OUR PILOT INSTRUCTORS

 

Our instructors are specifically experts at training pilots, so we know how to adapt your training to suit your learning style. You’ll be welcomed in to the Flyby Family, and encouraged to excel in the exciting drone industry.  You will gain the status and respect that a Flyby Pilot demands. 

 

ONGOING SUPPORT

 

A priceless benefit of training with Flyby is our personal mentoring scheme. You will be able to approach one of our elite instuctors throughout the early years of your career for any advice you may need.

If an appropriate contract comes up we will recruit from our alumni only, and our standards mean other companies will want Flyby Pilots too.

 

We have the power to catapult you to join the very first, pioneering group of commercial BVLOS pilots in the World.

HOW MUCH DOES IT COST?

BVLOS Pilot training costs £10,000 + VAT which is an amazing investment for a new career in aviation. We offer payment plans, please just ask for details.

We are not an elitist establishment, we have kept the training costs to a minimum (Did you know it can cost in excess of £100,000 to train as a manned aviation pilot?) as we want this opportunity to be accessible to as many of you as possible. 

 

HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE?

The flight school is every week day for 4 weeks in our facility at Leicestershire, UK. We can’t think of any other training on this level that doesn’t take years! It’s an incredible opportunity for an exciting new career.

 

AMAZING OFFERS

We’re offering a free GVC course when you sign up to our BVLOS course! The GVC is the first building block in the journey to becoming a BVLOS pilot. This usually costs £999 + VAT. If you already have your PFCO or GVC with Flyby, we’ll deduct this from your BVLOS course fees.  

 

GUARANTEE

If you do not make the grade you will get a full, no quibble money back guarantee.

 

COVID COMPLIANT

Our groundschool is fully COVID compliant, which also means that cadet places are limited. So if you want to be one of the first, pioneering BVLOS pilots, you’ll need to be added to the waiting list sooner rather than later. 

 

HOW DO I APPLY?

Visit our dedicated BVLOS site at www.bvlosdronetraining.com and register your interest. Then our head of BVLOS will be in touch to discuss the position and make sure this is the right training for you. We need to know you are seriously committed, hence the initial conversation to make sure you fully understand the opportunities and the commitment involved. We will let you know the next available course start date. 

 

 

STILL NOT SURE?

Sign up for our open day for recruits.  We’ll show you round our facility, you’ll meet our instructors and get a demo of our aircraft in action and you might even get to fly it! Chat to BVLOS pilots about their experience and ask any questions you may have. Lunch is provided. The open day costs £200, but you’ll get your money back if you sign up for the course.

Only available outside of COVID restrictions, please email us hello@flybydrones.co.uk stating you are interested in registering for an open day.
