Drone drone pilot training in Valence

Free quote — drone pilot training in Valence

In Valence, trainees practise across varied environments a short drive apart: the banks of the Rhône, urban fabric, the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes countryside. Everything needed to build genuine versatility as a professional pilot. With 64,726 inhabitants, Valence generates steady demand in Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes: a pilot covering the area prices your mission within one working day.

Prefecture of the Drôme on the left bank of the Rhône, Valence marks the "gateway to the South": an old town around Saint-Apollinaire cathedral, the Peynet bandstand, the Jouvet park overlooking the river, and orchards and lavender fields at the city gates. Valence-Chabeuil aerodrome (LFLU), to the east, is the main aeronautical point of attention; the Rhône corridor also concentrates motorway, high-speed rail and river routes that trigger the rules on overflying transport infrastructure. Valence's economy relies on food and gastronomy (the Vallée de la Gastronomie, Maison Pic), Rhône-corridor logistics and fruit and wine agriculture (Crozes-Hermitage nearby).
