This session is designed for beginners who are just stepping into the world of drones. Whether you’ve recently purchased your first drone or are still considering your options, we’ll give you the foundational knowledge you need to get started safely and confidently.

You’ll learn about the core components of modern drones, including how they communicate, what keeps them stable in the air, and how GPS and sensors help control movement. We’ll also walk through different types of drones and use cases—from photography to inspection—and how to choose the right one for your needs.

A big focus will be on safety and legal compliance. We’ll introduce you to current drone regulations, flight restrictions, and registration requirements (with a focus on EU rules, including EASA categories). We’ll also explore apps and tools to help you plan flights and avoid no-fly zones.

By the end of the session, you’ll not only know how to operate your drone but also how to do so responsibly and with a clear understanding of what to expect as you begin your journey in the drone world.
