Thank you very much for your video. I recognise so much of what you describe here. I also do A3/A2 RTK photogrammetry but because of work pressures it took me months to do a 15 minute A2CofC test. While I wouldn't suggest it, and exactly like you say, the mission planning software could let you perform a survey without ever touching a lever and much of my flight time is still like this. I had to actively push myself to do the self declaration training moves at weekends and that brings more confidence for sure. That said, I will definitely have picked up bad habits now. You have totally sold me me on the DPA guys and I will seek out a Scottish venue.

Yeah I totally get what you mean. I got caught out doing automatic flights too. It’s so easy to skips stuff when work takes up time and time is money. I normally would struggle to take 3/4 days off for a course but now I definitely feel more secure when flying and more importantly covered by law. Are you flying lots these days?

As someone who is a ATPL(H) pilot I can definitely say the drone licenses are needed... I've often been operating in my helicopter at 500ft and had more than a few near misses from drones, Also as a hobby drone flyer myself I think the airspace needs this control I have my A2 CofC and I may do the GVC but I only fly the mini pro 3 (I do own a MAVIC air 1 and MAVIC pro also).

Oh wow that’s scary! That’s my worry when I fly I’m so honed in on potential aircraft. The course leaders said I was a very cautious flyer 😂 better to be safe I think!

Excellent video, thank you! Does the commercial licence expire at all? Thanks Scott

If you are a novice and then want to gain experience and earn money doing it as a job how can you go about it.

I would go the roof inspection route or even photography or video. Surveying needs years of experience for the post survey processing for clients. It can be done but you would need to get educated on the surveying side of things

£300 is definitely one of the more expensive ones.
