Common Questions Answered

Everything you need to know before enrolling in the FPV course

Do I need prior electronics knowledge for the FPV course?

No. The course starts from absolute basics — soldering, drone anatomy, and simulator flying. Anyone curious about technology can join.

Do I take the drone home after building it?

Yes. The drone you build on Day 2–3 is yours to keep. It's our most popular course feature.

Is FPV drone flying legal in India?

FPV drones under 250g (Nano category) can be flown without DGCA registration in many areas. Above 250g requires DGCA registration. DroneAcad covers all relevant regulations on Day 1.

What equipment do I need to bring?

Nothing. All components, goggles, transmitters, tools, and simulators are provided by DroneAcad.

Can I upgrade to the Diploma course after FPV training?

Yes. FPV Building is Module 3 of the 6-month Diploma. Completing the standalone FPV course gives you credit and advanced standing in the Diploma programme.
