A New Precision Drone Pilot Training Program

Ready-to-run out of the box, FPV Initiator has everything you need to put students on a track toward real-world, precision drone operations and the ultra-cool world of virtual and in-real-life competitive drone racing!

Designed for the novice teacher and student, information is presented through engaging lesson modules that make it easy to teach and learn. We've done the heavy lifting for you so you can focus on what's important – coaching and preparing your students for success.

First Person View - Real World Simulation

FPV stands for First-Person View. When piloting the drone, students wear VR goggles, allowing them to see from the drone's perspective.

Unlike traditional drones, which are piloted from the pilot's ground perspective, FPV offers a viewpoint directly from the drone. This provides an exceptionally immersive experience, leading to more precise flying and heightened accuracy. The outcome is faster reactions and a heightened awareness of the surroundings. That’s why we call it “precision drone pilot training."

Virtual and In-Real-Life Competitions

Coming winter 2024! The USDRA (Unified Scholastic Drone Racing Association) is the first and only hybrid drone racing association created exclusively for students. Drone Legend's one-of-a-kind league give s you and y our studetns a secure environment in which to compete virtually and IRL in regional and national tournament competitions!
