long-drawn license I'm gonna be a drug pilot alright keep saying that for the
last couple of days I'm gonna be a dropout a little bit cloudy today a few
moments later okay I've just arrived my destination won't be able to film inside
anyway so I'm gonna leave this camera here don't you worry family I will be
back in a couple of hours just wish me luck but this practical assessment
hopefully I can get through everything you know smoothly as possible with no
errors and I'll see you in a couple of hours
bye for now so the way to yeah look like just finish
everything so yeah you've just back home now so I'm just gonna have some dinner
and spend some family time shower and change
and probably gonna talk about what exactly happened then what went down
give me a couple of hours to sort myself out okay I didn't know it's a that later
okay all right so finally very very long day look at Dave about 7:30 and pretty
much ran for the whole day no I didn't get back to about 7 p.m. just have
dinner spend some quality time my family shower and now I'm here so when I got
there went through pre-flight missions you know talk about some of the aspects
on how to prepare a mission lots of planning lots of risk assessment just
figuring out you know what happens if this happened and what do you need to do
you know you got a job request to shoot this particular area out what do you do
you prepare a flight plan you know what are the risks what's the weather going
to look like where the wind velocity is to ask for permission request if it's a
restricted airspace you know all those things you need to account for it pretty
much covers maybe the first you know three three four hours is just really
talking through it and going through you know week there nautical charts the
visual terminal charts and understanding the key frequencies after that I went to
the fun part obviously going through the basic and advanced maneuvers so I went
through maybe about twenty four tasks I have to complete them here luckily I
managed to get through it in two batteries whoo yeah I was yeah I was
just having yeah it was it was hard work really the challenge for me was going
through the horizontal legs eight like that so actually not using my thumb so
normally you know would fly with and while there's nothing wrong with
that one sometimes do the pinch movement because this one's actually a lot more
control and I'll find there's a lot more control because you're pushing your back
as opposed to just the tongue controlling the whole lot tripod mode
also helps and complaining some of the assessment run through a couple of
circuits you know going in a rectangular format climbing to about 30 40 feet 30
40 meters high above and you rotate and then go for no supply in manual mode
there's a phantom 4 Pro that I get to play around with manual mode where
there's no GPS and try to fly the drone you know balance so luckily I've got
that experience for my phantom 3 standard so that really helped we had
lunch obviously did more maneuvers practice fee emergency plans let's say
there's a flight the relative there's incoming helicopter incoming flight what
they need to do what happens if your drum lost control and you don't know
what orientation they're in they can't see it visually what do you need to do
so play around with the radio call you know for example I wrote a script you
know excellent said traffic unmanned multicopter 2 miles north inducting air
works radius about 150 meters not above 300 feet AGL or above ground level if
you don't know that is estimated time of completion is about 20 minutes XYZ
though that sort of sudden the radio calls that you do biggest question is
did I pass the exam yes and in principle I have passed building a couple
paperwork's and now it comes into the waiting game could take about you know
three to six weeks once Casa has approved what the regulators have
approved my my certificate and once that's been fully approved then I'll get
it in the mail and I am a certified drop in principle I am
an approved and certified drone pilot anyways

appreciate it and yeah remember to subscribe to my channel for more drone
videos look that's really thank you so much for tuning in thank you for
watching this video I hope you learned a little bit more on you know how to
become a patron of our drone pilot I'm gonna head off to sleep now I'm so tired
it's been a long day peace bye
