Mission training for drone teams
Fly the mission before the mission.
Your team trains together, starting with drone safety fundamentals and building to advanced search and rescue situations, over real Australian roads and place names, in weather that fights back. On the DJI RC Plus 2 you fly for real.
Shared screenPilot controllerShared training
One flight. A whole team learning.
New pilots begin with the fundamentals of safe flying. When the team is ready, the same simulator steps up to advanced search and rescue situations, with everyone watching and learning from the same flight.
01 · Missions
Train on what crews actually fly
Missions follow reported search and rescue flights. Your team practises the decisions, not just the sticks, so the first real call-out is not the first time they have made them.
02 · Places
Fly places you can name
Lismore farmland, the Western Highway at Stawell and the streets of Western Sydney, with real place names and road markers. Mark a point and the whole team can see it, so everyone calls positions the same way.
03 · Hazards
Conditions that raise the stakes
Fog, bushfire haze, rain and overcast change what you can see and what is safe to do. Crewed aircraft cross your area and somebody has to act.

Mission select
Built from the jobs crews really get
Start with the fundamentals of safe drone flying, then step up to advanced search and rescue situations. Accurate recreations of real places you fly in now and will again, three enterprise aircraft, and missions based on reported search and rescue flights.
Lismore
Farmland near Lismore, Victoria. The fundamentals from first flight to the missing calf, then stock checks and mustering.
Western Sydney
Minchinbury and Rooty Hill, recreated from the real streets, buildings and motorways you know. A warehouse fire, a night search and vehicle follow, a break-in and a flash flood.
Stawell
The Western Highway at Stawell. A sedan has hit a leaking petrol tanker, and you fly from the Sisters Rocks command post.
The Grampians (Gariwerd)
An accurate recreation of the real ranges, roads and trails, for search and rescue, fire and first flights.
Stage 1 · Fundamentals
Learn the basics of safe drone flying before anything gets hard.
- 01
First flights
Hover, orientation and a clean landing. A gentle start for new pilots.
- 02
Flying safely
Battery, return with reserve, weather limits and crewed aircraft call-outs. The habits that keep every flight safe.
- 03
When it goes wrong
A helicopter inbound, a failing battery, a lost link. Make the call under pressure.
Stage 2 · Advanced situations
Then step up to the situations crews actually get called to.
- 04
Search and rescue
Find the missing walker before dark. Learn thermal sweeps, grid searches and how to pin a casualty, drawn from reported SAR flights.
- 05
Fire
A bushfire and a warehouse fire. Read the heat on thermal, pin the seat of the fire, then handle the wind change and the spot fire.
- 06
Police support
Search a block on thermal at night, then follow a car onto the M7 and through the interchange with the spotlight.
- 07
Flood and resupply
Check flooded shops in fog, or carry supplies over a ridge with the FlyCart 100.
Weather
Fog, bushfire haze, rain and overcast change what you can see, and what is safe to try.
Light and wind
Dusk and night, plus gusts that move the aircraft and the smoke.
Thermal technique
Learn to read thermal for search and rescue, fire and pursuit, with zoom to confirm. Spotlight, beacon, speaker and siren all work.

Teams that train together
Education
A shared flight at the front of the room, then a conversation. Hands-on time without putting an aircraft in the air.
