Drone drone pilot training in Nantes

Free quote — drone pilot training in Nantes

Flying near the Loire, handling urban space, preparing a regulated mission: the area around Nantes concentrates the situations a professional pilot must master — a complete training ground. From Château des ducs de Bretagne to the outlying districts, our pilots know the terrain of Nantes and prepare every flight on the local aeronautical chart.

The Nantes market is among the most dynamic in western France: the Île de Nantes regeneration and creative district, shipyards and industry along the lower Loire, Euronantes office developments, Muscadet vineyards at the city gates and a distinctive heritage — the Dukes' castle, the Machines de l'île — highly photogenic from above. The Nantes-Atlantique CTR spreads over the south-west of the city and covers much of the metropolitan area: flights there require a protocol with the airport, while the dense historic centre falls under the built-up-area scenario with notification to the Loire-Atlantique prefecture.
