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 been around since World War II. DJI's Phantom quadcopters became 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.

1. Remote control – This is when you attach a device to your hand that allows you to control the drone's flight path. There are two main types of controllers: On/Off switches (like a radio) and joysticks.
2. Manual Control - Using a smartphone app, this method allows users to remotely operate the drone via GPS coordinates. The app will provide instructions and help you to locate the drone.
3. Autonomous Flying - This allows the drone to take over all of the piloting duties. It's basically flying autonomously without any human intervention. It must have a builtin camera, sensors capable of taking images and data to enable autonomous flight.
4. Triggered Flight: This is similar in concept to manual control. The pilot manually creates a route and the drone then follows it until it reaches that endpoint. After the program is complete, the drone automatically returns to the ground.
5. Landing Gear – A few drones come with landing gear. This allows them land safely in the event of losing power or running out of battery.
6. Goggles – Pilots often wear goggles while flying to keep themselves safe from any debris.
7. Camera - Some drones are equipped with cameras allowing you to capture photos and videos from above.
8. Obstacles-Some drones come with obstacle avoidance devices that keep them from hitting obstructions.
9. Speed - Drones can reach speeds up to 40 mph.
10. Battery Life – Most drones will last 20 minutes to three hours depending on how powerful they are.
11. Some drones have a range of up to 30 miles, depending on their model.
12. Power source - Not all drones can use an external power source. Others can run on internal batteries.
13. Weight - Some drones can be as light as 1 pound while others can reach 4 pounds.
14. Size - The size of drones varies from small, easily carried devices to more substantial crafts that weigh in excess of 50 pounds.
15. Price - High-end drones can go for thousands of dollars, while low-cost models start at $100.
