I qualified as a UAV pilot today, I just need to sort out my Ops manual and it'll be time to give up driving trucks for a living.

If I can do it, as the saying goes It's a wonderful feeling having another option to earn a living and make some changes. After nearly 20 years of working nights, it's time to see what daylight really looks like on a regular basis.

Nice vid, why were the boats reefed? Didn't look that windy or does a drone struggle to keep up with a yacht under full sail?

No isea, you'd have to ask the skipper. Drone will do 45mph.

Congratulations!

What does that entail, as a hot air ballon pilot/ex air traffic controller I have wondered if any of the air law etc exams I have covered would be applicable to drones.

With an aviation background you'd have absolutely no problem with ground school side of it. Most of it if not all you'll have covered before. The flying side is easy as long as you practice flying in Manual mode rather than using gps. Go for it, you know you want to.

Seconded, but ATTI mode not manual! If they expected everyone to fly manual I don't think many would pass!

ATTI is a DJI term, the chaps who held the course I attended called it manual. As they were all ex forces drone pilots I'm going to bow to their superior knowledge.
