Webinar
Episode 2: Mastering the Controls – From Takeoff to Precision Flying
Thursday August 14, 2025 17:30 Europe/Copenhagen

This session is for drone users who understand the basics and are ready to unlock greater control and confidence in the air. We’ll take a closer look at your drone’s controller settings, flight modes, and advanced features, helping you move from “just flying” to flying with purpose.
You’ll learn about GPS vs ATTI mode, the role of manual controls, and how to handle your drone in different weather conditions or terrains. We’ll also cover how to practice key maneuvers such as orbiting, fly-bys, top-down shots, and tight landings—all essential for both creative and commercial flying.
A large part of this session will focus on problem-solving in-flight: what to do if you lose GPS signal, how to handle battery warnings, and how to safely regain control in stressful situations. We’ll also walk through how to use obstacle avoidance systems correctly—and when not to rely on them.
This webinar will include several real-world examples of flight paths and footage breakdowns, so you can see how expert pilots think through each movement. By the end, you’ll walk away with actionable techniques and the confidence to fly smoother, safer, and more intentionally—whether you’re shooting video, surveying land, or just enjoying the thrill of flying.
