Free quote — drone pilot training in Villeurbanne

In Villeurbanne, 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. From Gratte-Ciel des années 1930 to the outlying districts, our pilots know the terrain of Villeurbanne and prepare every flight on the local aeronautical chart.

The market is that of a fast-changing city: the iconic 1930s Gratte-Ciel towers and their contemporary extension, regeneration of the Grandclément and Gratte-Ciel districts, the La Doua campus in constant energy retrofit, and numerous co-owned buildings needing roof and façade inspections before renovation. Villeurbanne sits squarely inside the Lyon-Bron CTR, the business airfield being only a few kilometres east: nearly every flight needs an air-navigation protocol and a capped altitude.
