Career as Drone Pilot

The emergence of new-age technologies has seen the job market evolve rapidly and open career opportunities in new industries. One such is Drones, which have gone from niche to mainstream in the past few years and have become a critical developing technology in the deep-tech sector. In India, the introduction of the new liberalised rules is helping release India’s airspace for drone operations. The industry is expected to grow significantly over the next decade and will open new career avenues.

Industry Opportunities

Agriculture

Agronomists, agricultural engineers, researchers, service providers and farmers use drone-captured data to gain greater crop insights to accurately plan and manage their operations throughout the growing season. Drone data, be it RGB or multispectral, have a higher spatial and temporal resolution than satellite data and is cheaper than manned-aircraft flights for the same data.
Environmental monitoring and conservation

Environmental engineers, conservationists, researchers and professionals working in related fields are using fixed-wing drones as an easy and cost-effective means to capture accurate environmental data that can be used for various applications, ranging from glacial modeling to coastal erosion tracking, species identification and population assessments.
Public safety

When disaster strikes and public safety is threatened, every second counts. Lightweight fixed-wing drones have proven capabilities that enable law enforcement, firefighters and emergency services teams to rapidly deploy from a safe distance, capture the scene and make informed decisions on coordinating resources – to better protect communities and save lives.
Surveying, mapping, GIS

Surveying drones boast quick data collection times, excellent positional accuracy and offer a safer experience in the field compared to traditional methods. They are an ideal complement to existing terrestrial equipment and also have the potential to help you expand your company’s services into brand new fields.
Construction

Real-time control of the project is crucial for on-time completion. Our fixed-wing mapping drones efficiently deliver real-time data for monitoring a construction site’s progress, measuring cut and fill volumes for reporting, and generating geo-accurate 3D building models – all while keeping staff safe and productivity moving.
Forestry

Forest work can be time-consuming and expensive. By modeling a digital twin of the forest from drone data, forestry practitioners can increase the efficiency of management operations and reduce costs.
Service providers

Drone service providers deliver datasets in a variety of specialized markets from agriculture and real estate to geospatial, energy utilities and oil & gas. Lightweight autonomous mapping drones are easy to use for independent operators just starting out or can be scaled for large enterprises, delivering precise datasets with the potential to cut costs, create better relationships and grow business.
Defense

Real-time intelligence is vital to successful field operations. High-performance SUAS give members of military and defense capabilities to rapidly map large areas autonomously for seamless coordination of forces, protecting operations and improving mission effectiveness in a variety of terrain.
Mining, quarries, aggregates

Fixed-wing drones allow mine surveying teams to safely and efficiently capture rich datasets for multiple applications across mining operations. High-accuracy drone mapping and surveying can be used to create photo-realistic 3D models or digital twins of mining operations, earthworks projects and more to better inform decision making.
Research and education

Researchers and academics are using drones to quickly gather accurate data over large areas for results that are repeatable. Drones offer an efficient and cost-effective way to conduct research in environments as diverse as arctic glaciers to a Sub-Saharan desert.
Utilities and engineering

Engineers and utility service teams choose drones as useful tools in various aspects of their work, be it for inspections, creating digital twins, or other planning and monitoring applications. The accuracy of drone data allows engineering applications, as does the widespread usability of the data outputs.

Frequently Asked Questions

Drone technology and industry is evolving very rapidly in India and the world. Drones are being used to accomplish very challenging tasks in a growing number of fields and many industrial applications. Drones will be using the same airspace which is used by manned aircrafts and hence it is of utmost importance to have qualified and trained Drone pilots, who understand Air Regulations, Air Traffic Management and Air Safety. Hence, one needs to undergo proper training even if they are experienced drone flyers as it has become a legal requirement now.

Anyone who is above 18 years and bellow 65 of age and has passed 10th with English can undergo the required training in DGCA approved RPTOs.
Drones are the future. If you fulfill above requirements and want to make a career in the drone industry, then you can join our course. Professionals, employees, students, and RC Flyers, should also join the program to obtain the necessary technical, regulatory knowledge and of course the DGCA Remote Pilot Certifications

You can expect necessary drone training curriculum, designed as per the prescribed syllabus by the DGCA and an immense practical training in which the you will be exposed to various scenarios and emergencies and will be trained to tackle them while maintaining high safety standards. In summary, one can expect to be an industry ready pilot after the course completion.
