Multirotor Basic Training Program

Learn to pilot a multirotor

• Zero accidents, zero repair cost.
• Based on the recommendations from experienced instructors and Certification exams.

Altitude control familiarisation

• Learn to control with precision the vertical motion of the multirotor.
• Lift the multirotor to the altitude indicated by the arrows.
  Follow the arrows when they move to a different altitude.
• The first times it can be quite difficult to keep the multirotor from banging the ground or rocketing into the sky.

Hovering inside a circle

• Master hovering
• Take off, then keep the multirotor inside the circle.
  
• Translate the multirotor to the new position each time the circle moves.
• The circle will move in a square patterns in order to practise left, right, and diagonal translations.
  In the first exercises, the altitude is controlled by the simulator.

Nose-in hovering

• Master nose-in hover (when the multirotor is heading at the pilot)
• Take off, then keep the multirotor inside the circle.
• The challenge here is that when the multirotor is heading the pilot, the controls seem to be reversed (e.g. left stick moves the multirotor to the right)

Landing inside the circle

• Master landing.
• Take off and land inside the circle.
  Each time the circle moves to a new position, take off and land again inside the circle.
• The circle will move in square patterns in order to practise left, right, and diagonal translations.

Forward Flight

• Master forward flight (i.e. flying with the multirotor nose always pointing in the direction of flight)
• Take off, and fly the indicated pattern while yawing the multirotor to always point to the direction of flight.
• This is a quite difficult exercise. Helpful rotating arrows are displayed if the heading is incorrect.

VLOS Pilot Training Program

Advance exercises available in the Pro edition

• Skills you need to pilot your multirotor in visual line of sight (VLOS).

Hover

• Understanding the difference between GPS flight mode and ATTi.
• Nose-out and nose-in exercises.
• Learn to compensate for the wind in Atti mode.

Pirouettes

• 4-point and 8-point pirouettes.
  
• Learn to compensate for the wind in Atti mode.

Translations

• Sideway patterns, square patterns and diamond patterns.
• Learn to use the Course Lock control mode.
• Nose-out and nose-in exercises.

Circles

• Learn to fly circles moving nose-forward.

Vertical patterns

• Square and diamond patterns with ascents.
• Nose-out and nose-in exercises.

Descent

• Understanding the Vortex Ring State:
  
  • In a vertical descent with a heavy payload, vortices of "dirty air" are formed under each propeller.
    
  • When desdending fast into this "dirty air", grip is lost, in essence, getting trapped into the propeller downwash.
  • In this situation, increasing the throttle is ineffective.
  • To escape from the VRS, apply full stick to move sideways or forwards into clean air.
  • Wikipedia explanation of multirotor Vortex Ring State
• Learn to escape from VRS.
• Learn the slope descent to avoid VRS.
• Learn the spiral descent to avoid VRS.
