Would you like to learn to fly a drone, without first investing in a one, crashing it, or watching it fly away with no idea how to bring it back? The simple answer is yes, there is a very cost effective method to learn how to operate and pilot a drone without the cost of purchasing one. You can learn and test your piloting skills with a drone flight simulator. Drone simulator software is available through apps for your phone or gaming console or as downloads for your computer. Many of the apps are free or can be purchased for a few dollars. If you read through the reviews you can usually determine how life-like the flying experience from other drone pilots. A few of the options that many people seem to like are RealFlight Drone Flight Simulator (computer software), Quadcopter FX Simulator, Drone Racing League Simulator, Real Drone Simulator, the list goes on and one. You can search for a drone app simulator in the App Store or on Google Play. Using the simulator, especially for a new pilot, is helpful because it removes the element of actually crashing a drone and possibly damaging someone else’s property. Many of the simulators that are available have very good physics programmed into them and give you a real feel experience. You can start with many of the same basic maneuvers that you would want to master with your drone, like takeoffs, landings, hovering, turning, forward, backward, and side-to-side movements. If you crash, no worries, hit the reset button and try again. Another great advantage to a simulator, on those days when the weather is not drone friendly, you can open up the simulator and still log some flight time. Safe and Happy Flying!
