Drone drone pilot training in Arles

Free quote — drone pilot training in Arles

Flying near the Rhône, handling urban space, preparing a regulated mission: the area around Arles concentrates the situations a professional pilot must master — a complete training ground. From the town centre to the business parks, the pilots covering Arles and its department (13) match equipment and flight plan to each order.

The Arles economy lives on culture and tourism, agriculture (Camargue rice, Crau hay) and a river port on the Rhône. Drone demand: heritage documentation (with monument authorisations), rice farming, monitoring of the Rhône dykes — a major issue since the 2003 floods — and audiovisual productions. Arles piles up superlatives: mainland France's largest commune (758 km²), a UNESCO-listed Roman and Romanesque ensemble (arena, ancient theatre, Saint-Trophime cloister), Van Gogh's legacy, the Rencontres photography festival and the Frank Gehry-designed Luma tower.
