‘We recently completed FRTOL training with DroneRT by Planespeak and the experience was excellent throughout. The instructor delivered the course with the perfect level of detail. The pre-course learning and booking process were seamless. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this training provider and look forward to returning to them as our team grows.’
‘The training was delivered to six members of a national drone programme and was exceptionally well delivered by Andy. His extensive knowledge, experience and engaging teaching style, combined with the excellent online pre-course learning materials, ensured that everyone arrived well prepared and able to successfully pass the course. The training provided a clear understanding of the subject matter and left the entire group with a high level of confidence in applying what we had learned in an operational environment.’
Communications matter
Uncrewed aircraft. Crewed aviation. One aviation system.
As UAS operations become more complex, effective communication with other airspace users and Air Traffic Services becomes increasingly important. DroneRT develops the communications capability professional UAS organisations need to operate confidently within the wider aviation environment.
Our training combines regulatory knowledge, operational aviation experience and practical scenario-based radiotelephony. From individual remote pilots to national organisations, programmes can be developed around the operation, airspace and mission.
