About Rural Drone Academy

The Rural Drone Academy has become the leading drone education business travelling across regional & remote Australia, successfully providing a unique option sitting inbetween spending $2,000 on one week of formal CASA licence training (RePL) and obtaining no education at all. Training is based on what Chief Remote Pilot Fiona Lake wishes she could have learned as soon as she began flying drones but instead had to learn via attending training across Australia and overseas, many hours of flying drones in every state & territory, and more than five years of research. Fiona has received repeat invitations to present at the largest drone conferences on 4 continents and the information collected is then shared with participants in Australian workshops. To date, drone presentations have been run in every state except WA. No community is too small or too remote. This practical and holistic training has been honoured at a state government level (a Queensland 'Digital Champion' award), with a national award from Australia's largest drone organisation (AAUS; the Industry Award for Education & Training) and internationally (A 'Woman to Watch in UAS' award, issued by Chicago-based Women and Drones). Workshops are based on the introductory fundamentals of what every drone pilot needs to know to operate safely, productively and enjoyably, with valuable tips for advanced operators. Specific additional topics are added according to the training host's preference, to best suit local attendees. These specialty topics include using drones in farming or grazing enterprises, or drone photography - based on 30+ years of aerial photography experience and work within a variety of farming and livestock enterprises across Australia. Detailed information on training sessions can be found on the blog post listed below, and testimonials from workshop attendees can also be found on the website, in the 'services' section.
