On a compact three-hour lesson in Poznań, you learn to fly a drone, earn the A1/A3 European drone license, and then put your new skills to work above Cathedral Island and the Warta River. The meeting point is in front of Poznań Cathedral (Ostrów Tumski Str. 19), where an instructor walks you through regulations, equipment, and local flight etiquette before you take off. The session is organized into three focused parts. First, you’ll complete an efficient classroom segment that covers Polish and European drone rules and helps you create an account on the aviation authority’s website; a short test at the end grants your pilot number and A1/A3 certification. Second, hands-on training with a certified instructor introduces basic piloting, safe takeoff and landing, and how to avoid common mistakes that lead to crashes. Third, a guided drone tour applies those skills: you’ll fly around Poznań’s landmarks, observing the buttresses and Gothic silhouette of the cathedral, the compact stone bridges of Ostrów Tumski, and riverside parks from above. FPV goggles are offered for an immersive perspective few visitors experience. This offering stands out because it combines immediate licensing with an on-site urban tour and a 2-person maximum that guarantees attention from the instructor. It’s wheelchair accessible and family-friendly (minimum age 8), making it a practical option for learners and returning pilots who want local insight. Practical safety matters are emphasized: instructors advise on the best drone for your needs, and the group covers legal limits — important, since flying without certification can result in fines even for sub-250 g models. Weather-sensitive bookings include a full refund with 24 hours’ notice. Expect to practice near river breezes and tight urban corridors, so bring a reliable small multirotor or borrow recommendations from the guide. The flight route highlights Poznań’s layered history—stone cathedral foundations dating back to early medieval Poland, riverside promenades, and views toward the Old Market—offering both architectural detail and sweeping urban geometry from above. For travelers staying in central Poznań, this three-hour lesson is an efficient way to earn certification, sharpen practical piloting skills, and collect aerial images that showcase the city’s compact scale. Whether you want to start a regulated hobby or just see Poznań from an entirely different angle, this lesson packages training, legal compliance, and a curated flight route into a single morning or afternoon experience. Because the course limits participants to two at a time, novice pilots receive personalized feedback on emergency procedures, control, and composition for aerial video. Instructors can point you toward local no-fly zones and help quickly file required authorizations. Bring a charged controller and spare batteries, and expect fluctuating river winds; sensible planning makes the difference between a shaky clip and a publishable cityscape.
