[QUOTE="Jared Reabow, post: 17791, member: 346"] [URL='https://phantompilots.com/threads/how-many-flight-hour-make-an-experienced-drone-pilot.113495/page-2#post-1169747']How many flight hour make an experienced drone pilot?[/URL] [B]PLEASE READ THIS FOR YOUR OWN SAKES[/B] I don't often feel like I need to comment but in this particular situation, I feel I must say something. To be clear I have been designing aircraft, building and flying my own aircraft (including drones) since I was 17 and have been flying aircraft since I was 13. I run my own surveying company utilizing drones and have countless hours of experience. I see a few people on here saying how they have hours maybe even days of flight experience on their DJI drone as if it means something, I am here to say it means diddly squat. Take driving for example, isn't is strange how someone who has been driving everyday for 20 years is still crap and gets into crash that was from some people's view avoidable. It happens because you do not learn how to do something by only ever doing it without fault, you need to experience unexpected situations in order to get good at what you do and when unexpected situations occur you need to analyse and learn from them, not just throw the thing away and buy another (like most people who post in this forum admittedly do). TLDR: Flying a DJI product should not count towards flying experience hours just like being in a self driving car should not count as driving experience. You people have no ability to deal with unexpected situations. ([B]Now i am generalising ,there are lots of you this doesn't apply to, but there are more that it does[/B]). This point is important because, in a court of law, the above would be why you would loose your case. flight time != (does not equal) skill/wisdom/experience etc because you aren't really flying the thing. I find it cringeworthy to be on this forum sometimes when noob "pilot" A complains it isn't their fault because the drone did it and noob "pilots" B through Y agree. [/QUOTE]
