In the virtual cockpit: What it takes to fly a drone
Drone pilots escape the physical demands and dangers of a traditional cockpit. There's no g-force pinning them to their seats, no uncomfortable pressure suit to wear and no panic because the aircraft they are sitting in is spiraling out of control. (www.nbcnews.com) More...Sort type: [Top] [Newest]
I didnt realize you can hear turbulence.
How do you earn your wings if you're flying a drone with a xBox controller?
Not me. Really stick and rudder flying is the only way to truly enjoy the experience. I can see it from a low risk way to be "deployed" but never as a civilian experience.
My guess it has something to do with people who have a fear of flying and start screaming at any sign of tubulance. :-)
