hi everyone its Dennis here thank you so much for tuning in
another day another vlog you know it's been a while since I've done this last
couple of weeks I've been actually very busy you know taking care of my kids
obviously working you know doing some drone videos and I've been actually been
busy studying over the last couple weeks I've been focusing on my studies I'm
actually studying to become a pilot
watch the birdie okay not actually a pilot pilot but I'm actually studying to
become a certified drone pilot and thinking about this over the last maybe
what one and a half almost two years I'm not sure what it's called in America but
here it's called the remote pilot license and I've been thinking about
this for quite some time now and yes it look like made the decision
maybe about six weeks ago are you can take an exam in order to get the license
the exam consists of theoretical and practical assessments got the option to
do a five-day five-day course or a online course plus two days practical
assessment so given the busyness of my schedule you know I work 9:00 to 5:00
take care of my two kids you know spend time on my wife very unlikely that I can
do the five day course so I elected to get the online course I've done quite a
few exams on my exams so far only we'll have two more left I'm trying to get
through and then the next step will be to do the practical assessment sure it's
kind of similar anywhere around the world but yeah if you are a certified
drone pilot feel free to comment down below let me know what's the process in
your in your country how do you actually get certified to become a drone pilot
feel free to comment down below I would love to eat properly so why am I doing
this eight because I want to get a certain
well I want to be certified I wanted to come a certified drone pilot and
secondly you know basically it allows me to fly commercial drones for up to seven
kilograms so think about the inspire owns or the other commercial drones
that's available in the market like the Matthysse mitrice trees just do you know
if you're flying typically the normal standard consumer DJI drones like the
Phantom and the Maverick proneness Park you don't necessarily need to get
license they're all sub two kilograms so you're perfectly fine with that one but
again do check out the relevant regulations that's applicable in your
area and read through if you live in Australia do check the Casa website from
time to time to keep you updated with the relevant drone laws
of wrong regulations anyways back to this theoretical assessment there's a
lot of things to cover you know I'm I'm learning about you know classification
of airspace once in a what's a controlled air space versus an
uncontrolled airspace understanding VT c or visual terminal charts and the VNC or
the visual navigation charts learning about how to read the map and
aeronautical map you know under study was that what know time is I know what
know domains it's a notice Airmen the longitude latitude you know how the
equator and comm-pass works they're learning about GPS Global Positioning
System learning about radio frequency you know the low five high five
understanding operational laws what you can you can't do even more study more
studying I'm submitting them as much as I can because those the vertical exams
you got to take it seriously you know the passing rate for each exams about
seventy percent generally they're all multiple choice questions some of the
questions have been very very tricky to put you you know those type of questions
where you know there's an all of the above
or none of the above or is it it's only a and B or an or B and C or C and II
hate the second questions because it's Maggie
you know think twice or three times with your answers there's so much things to
learn and read and I'm just really glad that I passed all the exams I've took
and I still have two more to go once I've done the theoretical of how to
start practicing on the maneuvers because there's a lot of maneuvers here
now I got about thirty hours of flight time
under my belt to leave me I still need to practice that that's probably the
most important thing I find in here is to practice all those maneuvers now the
maneuvers they're all coming to different sort of stages there's the
basic maneuvers where you know you hover the drone your land drone you launch it
upwards for a horizontal triangle on how to move the drone into like a
techniques such as you know how to circle drone so this is your drone
circling around like that in a sort of controlled manner of do like a eight
like important you know I vertical eight like that or horizontal eight like that
and it shouldn't oh they'll be very simple but no they're actually quite
difficult and challenging so the only way to overcome it is to practice just
share you some things that I'm working on and this is definitely something that
I really wanna achieve by the end of the year and unfortunately time is you know
to challenge for me at the moment yeah it's hard and I probably created a
separate video on that one and some of the challenges as a small youtuber once
I'm facing right now and yeah look I'll probably elaborate born that way I'll
share more that one anyways that's really forming today I need to get back
into my studying just get this online assessment out of the way and yes start
practicing those maneuvers in order to be ready for the practical assessments
so yeah look anyway if you haven't been following me on my other social media
accounts do check it out twitter facebook instagram it more they'll keep
you you know news and up-to-date news with what I'm doing actually I do have
an IG TV as well I'll link it down below or in here to check it out and I'm
putting in a little bit more behind-the-scenes content in there as
well so thank you so much for watching and I'll see you in my next video bye
