Atlanta Hobby And FlySafe Partner For Las Vegas UAV Training And Conference

CUMMING, Ga. - Aug. 11, 2014 - PRLog -- (CUMMING, GA)— AtlantaHobby.com and sister company UAVExperts.aero have once again teamed up with FlySafe, the nation’s leader in UAV operations training, to produce the most comprehensive UAV training conference to date. Held in Las Vegas from September 26-28, the conference will include exhibitors demonstrating the latest developments in the rapidly evolving field of unmanned aerial vehicles. The conference will also feature industry leaders including Rich Hansen from AMA Government and Regulatory Affairs, the Roswell Flight Test Crew, Trent Palmer of Copter Kids and more. The core conference agenda includes training sessions on equipment, flight safety, and business aspects of aerial photography, as well as new segments on video editing, First Person View flight, automation, and governmental affairs. This conference is set to be the most comprehensive training and professional development event ever held for aerial photographers and UAV operators!

As a special added bonus, attending FlySafe in Las Vegas includes access to the AtlantaHobby/UAVExperts Gold Seal FAA Private Pilot knowledge test certification program. Normally a $259 value, it’s included free in the FlySafe conference fee. This internet-based training course covers materials required for you to pass the FAA private pilot’s knowledge test that will most likely be required when the new UAV commercial regulations are passed. Upon completion of the Gold Seal online program, you will receive an FAA endorsement authorizing you to sit for the FAA Private Pilot Knowledge Test at any testing center in the United States. As the FAA prepares to regulate and license commercial UAVs and their operators, passing the FAA knowledge test will give participants a major leg up when commercial UAV use is integrated into the national airspace.

As Cliff Whitney, President of Atlanta Hobby, commented, “If you have not participated in a community event like FlySafe, the atmosphere of people sharing their knowledge is fantastic. You’re going to pick up a lot of tips on filming, editing, flying, FAA and legal issues, and even running a UAV-based business efficiently. Do not miss this next conference. You want to be a part of it.” The Flysafe program has benefited hundreds of aerial photographers and UAV operators and with new segments and benefits such as the included Gold Seal FAA Private Pilot knowledge test certification, the FlySafe conference in Las Vegas is expected to be the largest yet.
