If you provide drone services and you either currently own or have considered adding the Elios to your drone operations and UAV fleet, YOU MUST take this course! Not a similar course, but THIS Exact course designed by MFE Inspection Solutions under the guidelines, standards, and requirements from Flyability. Acuren‘s Ryan Hall completed this course at MFE Inspection Solutions. – New Lenox Illinois. This is a first class, no “sugar coating” course given by Mike Vanovermeir. Piloting the Elios is not enough; the techniques, advice, and experience provided by Mike is not something you want to “learn while on a job site” MFE Inspections Solutions actually configured their site with obstacles, effects, and wrote scenarios with mission objectives. When you break into a sweat and your hands are shaking on the controller in a training environment, that means the exercise is well designed! As we said in the military, “train as you fight” and this course was spot on.”
I received the Flyability certificate from last week’s confined space training seminar at MFE Inspection Solutions near Chicago. I truly thought that owning my drones for years would prepare me for what I would encounter, but I was wrong. The maneuvers and obstacle course for this program will literally have you so frustrated at the start but feeling complete elation at the end. It was a monster emotional rollercoaster, and I learned so much!
WHO SHOULD ATTEND
Drone-based indoor and confined space inspection can be a real challenge. Even the most experienced outdoor drone pilots need to adapt their reflexes, habits, and techniques when it comes to flying indoors. When piloting indoor and beyond the line of sight, you need to consider dust, smoke, protruding objects, falling objects, hanging objects or chains, loss of communication, and of course, the risk of not finding your way back.
At MFE Inspection Solutions, we offer introductory and specialized training for maneuvering the ELIOS in confined spaces on our drone obstacle course built on-site. Our ELIOS training program is a mix of theory and practice, and drone pilots will go through the entire process of a mission, from preparation to realization and data post-processing.
Additionally, if you plan to perform a mission that requires advanced or expert piloting skills according to our Mission Difficulty Assessment Card and you are not certified accordingly, following a specialized training course is probably the best way to conduct a safe and competent flight.
