Ready-to-run out of the box, The FPV Initiator program not only equips students with real-world precision drone piloting skills but also opens the door to competitive drone racing through the Unified Scholastic Drone Racing Association (USDRA). With FPV Initiator, students can go from mastering the fundamentals of FPV drone operations to taking part in thrilling, real-life and virtual drone racing events hosted by the USDRA.
Designed for the novice teacher and student, information is presented through engaging lesson modules that make it easy to teach and learn. We’ve done the heavy lifting for you so you can focus on what’s important – coaching and preparing your students for success.
FPV stands for First-Person View. When piloting the drone, students wear VR goggles, allowing them to see from the drone’s perspective. Unlike traditional drones, which are piloted from the pilot’s ground perspective, FPV offers a viewpoint directly from the drone. This provides an exceptionally immersive experience, leading to more precise flying and heightened accuracy. The outcome is faster reactions and a heightened awareness of the surroundings. That’s why we call it “precision drone pilot training.”
