Drone pilot - sports

Drones are a relatively new and rapidly growing sport in Norway. Flying a drone is more than just controlling a flying unmanned craft. Learn technique, balance, mentality, strategy to achieve mastery. Drones can be used in an incredible number of areas. Here you will experience how important tasks a drone can solve and be of help to society. It is really fun to master drones from A to Z. You can do this here!

Own airport

We have the best training conditions when it comes to drone flying. We have our own airport, Fagernes Airport, which provides safe and good learning in controlled surroundings.
