Course 04 · Indoor Flight Fundamentals

2-Day Basic Tactical Indoor Flight

Indoor flight is a different skill set from normal outdoor operations. This course builds controlled GPS-denied flight, confined-space navigation, low-light technique, and observer coordination before those skills are needed on a real call.

Prerequisite: FAA Part 107 Remote Pilot Certificate required
FORMAT: CLASSROOM + INDOOR FLIGHT LENGTH: 16 HOURS / 2 DAYS AIRCRAFT: CONFIRMED BEFORE CLASS CLASS SIZE: SITE DEPENDENT

Who this is for

Public safety remote pilots who are comfortable with normal outdoor operations and need a structured introduction to controlled indoor flight. This course builds the fundamentals required to move through confined, GPS-denied spaces without relying on outdoor automation.

What we cover

Day 1 builds the flight and coordination foundation. Day 2 turns those skills into hands-on stations and scenarios inside a training structure or mock building.

Day 1

Indoor tactical fundamentals

  • Flying in GPS-denied environments and understanding degraded positioning
  • Controlled navigation through hallways, doorways, and stairwells
  • Managing prop wash, close obstacles, and limited automated avoidance
  • Low-light and no-light flight techniques
  • Tactical Visual Observer coordination and standardized communication
Day 2

Hands-on flight and scenarios

  • GPS-denied hover and control drills
  • Hallway and doorway navigation
  • Stairwell and multi-level transitions
  • Low-light structure flight
  • Capstone scenario combining flight control, navigation, and observer coordination

What you leave with

  • A repeatable foundation for controlled indoor UAS flight
  • Practical experience navigating common confined-space problems
  • A working pilot and observer communication process
  • Certificate of completion

Logistics

The host agency provides a classroom and a suitable training structure or mock building interior. Hands-on groups are organized around the available space so students get meaningful flight time instead of standing in line.

Students must hold a current FAA Part 107 Remote Pilot Certificate. Aircraft and equipment requirements are confirmed before the course so the training setup matches the site and objectives.

Pricing and hosting

$499 per student. Host the course at your agency and receive two free seats in addition to the seats you pay for.

Build the indoor flight foundation before adding speed, FPV, and more complex tactical movement.
