How To
How to Fly Drones with Beginners
A drone can be used to fly remotely controlled aircraft for photography, surveillance, scientific research, hobby and commercial purposes. Drone technology has existed since World War II. DJI's Phantom series quadcopters were first commercially available in 2010. Many types of drones have been made available since then, from beginner-friendly models such as the Parrot AR Drone 2.0, to high-end multi-rotor craft such as the DJI Mavic Pro.
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 types of controllers available: joysticks and on/off switches.
-
Manual Control - Using a smartphone app, this method allows users to remotely operate the drone via GPS coordinates. You will need to keep track of where the drone is going and follow the directions from the app.
-
Autonomous flight - The drone takes over the piloting duties. The drone is able to fly autonomously, without the need for human intervention. To enable autonomous flight, the drone should have a built in camera and sensors capable recording images and data.
-
Triggered Flight – This method is very similar to manual flight. The pilot creates a route that the drone will follow until it reaches the destination. After the preprogrammed route is complete, the drone will automatically land and return to its base.
-
Landing Gear: Some drones have landing gear that allows them safely to land in case they lose power or run low on battery.
-
Goggles – Pilots often wear goggles while flying to keep themselves safe from any debris.
-
Camera – Some drones have cameras, which allow you to take photos or videos from up high.
-
Obstacles – Some drones have obstacle avoidance systems that stop them from colliding with obstacles.
-
Speed - Some drones reach speeds exceeding 40 mph.
-
Battery Life: Most drones have a battery life of between 20 and 30 minutes depending on how many power sources you use.
-
Some drones have a range of up to 30 miles, depending on their model.
-
Power source - Some drones require an external power source; others work off internal batteries.
-
Weight - Some drones can be as light as 1 pound while others can reach 4 pounds.
-
Size - From small drones that can be carried in the palm of one's hand to larger drones that weigh over 50 pounds, drones come in a variety of sizes.
