How To
How To Fly Drones For Beginners
A drone refers to a remote-controlled aircraft designed for aerial photography, surveillance and scientific research. Drone technology has existed since World War II. However, commercial use began in 2010 when DJI released their Phantom series of quadcopters. From beginner-friendly drones such as Parrot AR Drone 2.0 through professional-grade multirotor craft like DJI Mavic Pro, many types have been available.
There are many ways to fly a drone.
-
Remote control - This method uses a control device attached to your hand, which enables you to steer the drone through its flight path. There are two main types of controllers: On/Off switches (like a radio) and joysticks.
-
Manual Control – This allows remote operation of the drone via GPS coordinates using a smartphone application. The app will provide instructions and help you to locate the drone.
-
Autonomous Flight: This means that the drone will take care of all the piloting. It is basically flying autonomously and without human intervention. A drone must have a builtin camera and sensors capable to capture images and other data.
-
Triggered Flying - This method works in the same way as manual control. However, the pilot has to manually set up a route for the drone and it follows that route until reaching the endpoint. The drone automatically lands once the route has been completed and returns to the base.
