Where to now

1.8. Operation and ease of use

Consider how easy the drone will be to learn and master. Many drones on the market are user-friendly and easy to handle through a controller or even remotely through an app.

Despite all the advanced flights' systems and automated mission software, it’s important you can fly your drone under your control. While the controller is in your hand and the device is in the air you are the pilot. If any of the systems fail, it’s your responsibility to do your best to control your device and get it down and home safe. Just practice flying. It’s challenging at first but fun and practice does make perfect. There’s much more satisfaction in getting your aircraft to do what you want under your control. Knowing how to fly correctly helps you understand when some are not right. The automated processes are just the icing on the cake.
