After speaking to fun fliers, career trainees and professional pilots FDA was established to meet their needs. By the end of 2017 FDA had developed the latest cutting edge training in SA.

What Our Clients Say
“Exceptional facilities and very detailed instruction. The practical training was fun and inspired confidence.”
“I was on the introduction course and I think that this course needs to be included with every drone sold in SA.”
“The flying was fun but I didn’t expect to learn about all the laws that must be followed. I definitely feel that I’m a safer hobbyist now.”
