Drone drone pilot training in Agen

Free quote — drone pilot training in Agen

In Agen, trainees practise across varied environments a short drive apart: the banks of the Garonne, urban fabric, the Nouvelle-Aquitaine countryside. Everything needed to build genuine versatility as a professional pilot. From Cathédrale Saint-Caprais to the outlying districts, our pilots know the terrain of Agen and prepare every flight on the local aeronautical chart.

The Agen economy relies on food production (IGP prunes, the fruit-and-vegetable sector of Lot-et-Garonne, France's leading orchard), the pioneering Agropole food-tech park, the national prison-service academy (ENAP) and SUA rugby. Drone missions: precision agriculture and orchards, agri-food communication, real estate, construction monitoring, canal river tourism. Prefecture of Lot-et-Garonne, halfway between Bordeaux and Toulouse, Agen is inseparable from its prune — the ente plum dries on the surrounding hillsides — and from its 539-metre canal bridge, one of France's longest, carrying the lateral canal across the Garonne: a splendid aerial subject.
