• What to focus on when flying
  
• Our methodology, fly safe, enjoy
  
• Where you can and should fly
• Video and photo tips and tricks
  

How it works

We kick start lessons with a theory session, where we go through everything from flying locations to laws and much more.

Theory

Putting theory into practice is the best part. We show you how to fly safely and enjoyably and how to remain focused.

Practical

This is your time to shine! We focus on what you want. From more hands on flying, the DJI Go App to becoming a qualified pilot.

Focus Session

After landing we spend time reviewing the lesson, which leads nicely onto questions and answers.

Course reviews

Martyn C

"Thank you so much for the confidence-inspiring lesson! I surprised myself in wanting to fly the remaining battery solo after the lesson was done, but I felt with the beautiful scenery and sunset I’d kick myself if I’d missed it!.”

"Having decided to invest in a ‘proper’ drone and researched the internet I decided to buy through PhantomFlightSchool and I’m really glad I did, Alan has given me loads of support and the free 2 hour lesson gave me the confidence.”
