Drone by Drone has trained eight members of the Quito Fire Department (Ecuador) in piloting UAS or drones under the standards set out in European regulations.
The Bizkaia drone operating company has completed the specialized training process for eight firefighters from the Quito Fire Department, in which theoretical classes have been given with reference to EASA and non-EASA operations, and practical classes to obtain the accreditations of practical training of the national standard scenarios STS-ES-01 and STS-ES-02, as well as specialized day and night practice flights.
During a process that has lasted several weeks, the student-pilots have been able to take advantage of their presence at the Drone by Drone facilities to acquire the necessary experience to carry out the complex tasks that are required of them in their trade, as well as the theoretical knowledge of the EASA standards regarding unmanned aircraft.
We are proud that from such a distant place they have chosen us to provide all our training experience and knowledge in training drone pilots for such demanding tasks. Not surprisingly, we continue to train numerous State Security Forces and Bodies or Public Organizations in drone piloting and in the use of UAS as a high value-added tool, offering specialized courses for each specific area or group.
It is clear that drones are a very useful tool for the emergency and protection sector, in which we have the pleasure of contributing with the knowledge acquired during these almost 10 years of flights by Drone by Drone.
