Advanced Drone Flying (ATTI) Masterclass

Course Introduction

As a drone or unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) is an unmanned aircraft, all UAV operators need to apply for a permit from the Civil Aviation Authority of Singapore (CAAS). We recommend this Advanced course to help you with preparations ahead of your application for the permit. You will learn to operate the UAV in manual mode (ATTI or Attitude mode), an important requirement if GPS or other visual positioning signals are weak and pilot intervention is needed. You will benefit from an in-depth understanding of failsafe measures, automation flight, and various safety and maintenance considerations.

CAAS Permit Test Preparation: This course is specifically designed to provide individuals with the knowledge and skills to pass the Operator Permit License Test, focusing on ATTI flying theory based on the latest CAAS syllabus.

Advanced Drone Flying Techniques: The course covers advanced flying skills such as hovering, precision landing, and figure-of-8 maneuvers, equipping students with the practical skills needed for expert drone control.

Safety and Self-Training: Participants will learn about drone applications, safety protocols, maintenance, and troubleshooting, with guidance on how to continue training independently after the course.
