Dear MEL School’s Topic Readers,
China opens drone schools as
demand for pilots soars
China produces, exports and uses
more commercial drones than any other country. DJI, the world largest producer
of commercial drones, alone sold approximately 70 percent of commercial drones
in 2014. In its domestic market, the demand for maintenance, mapping, filming
and agricultural industries is increasing rapidly.
So, what do they need to meet
such an exploding market? Licensed pilots. More than 10,000 drone pilots are
needed this year alone. In fact, there are already 42 schools that teach and
train drone pilots. Even though new models are likely to self-fly with GPS and
tracking technology, there are still huge opportunities for drone pilots and
operators, and programmers to auto-pilot drones.
Enjoy reading and learning about this
new type of school that trains people to fly for the future.
