Drone Pilot Manual 3rd Edition

Just as Cépaduès is the publisher of the Manuels du pilote Avion, Planeur, ULM, Hélicoptère, Ballon, so we were keen to publish the Manuel du télépilote de drone, which is also a reference work.

To achieve this, we have combined the aeronautical expertise of Régis Le Maitre, engineer and teacher at ENAC, and already a major contributor to the pilot's manuals, with the specific aerial drone expertise of Bastien Mancini, co-founder of DELAIR, a French drone manufacturer.

Knowledge prepares the way for know-how, and it's in the first category that this manual falls.

The aim is to present the theoretical knowledge required by the telepilot as part of his initial training and skills maintenance. This covers not only the description and operation of the drone's components, but also the principles of flight, the meteorological environment in which it operates, the general and specific regulatory framework applicable to it, the principles of navigation, mission management in operational scenarios, and fundamental knowledge of human performance.

This deliberately broad knowledge base is presented in the following phases?

Phase 1 Aircraft description

Phase 2 Principles of flight

Phase 3 Meteorology

Phase 4 Regulations

Phase 5 Navigation

Phase 6 Operational procedures

Phase 7 Human performance

Phase 8 Flight preparation and follow-up

An index of over 300 words will help you navigate the manual more easily and find answers to your theoretical questions as you progress.

Happy reading and good work!
