"I had the pleasure of trying out the DJI Flight Simulator with Robert. The computer and the software is amazing and a great way to get a feel for flying a drone. Even as an experienced drone user, I was still learning new flying tips and tricks while using the simulator. I love how you can select the exact drone you use and then go fly it through exercises and operations".

"I am proud to say I recently completed and passed my pfco training with Robert at the Drone Pilot Training Academy, Belfast. I had never operated a drone before and didn’t even have one. I found The Drone Pilot Training Academy online and contacted Robert for some advice on what I needed to do. From the outset Robert was very helpful and advised me as to how I should proceed which was to complete a PfCO course.

I booked in for a DJI Flight simulator lesson first as I had no flight experience and it was well worth my time. It immediately gave me the confidence to fly a drone.

I opted for the Drone Pilot training package that included a free advanced lesson and s DJI Flight simulator lesson which was great value for the money. 

Throughout the whole process from start to end Robert helped me a great deal and his knowledge and expertise were invaluable. I would highly recommend Robert and the Drone Pilot Training Academy for anyone looking to gain a PfCO. I have the knowledge now to fly a drone safely and confidently because of it. The whole process took me 6 weeks from start to finish".

"Completed my PfCO with Robert before Christmas. Very professional and an expert in his field. He was always on hand during the online training with any questions I had, and checked in on me now and then to see how I was progressing. 

The flight test day I wasn't sure what to expect but Robert explained everything well and luckily we got a cold but sunny day for it. Although you're there for a serious test, Robert takes you through everything smoothly and it's completely relaxed with a bit of craic too. Even though I've been a drone hobbyist for a few year already, the drone simulator was very useful. It mimics certain conditions which I hadn't experienced yet that could be met in the future.

After passing the tests I sent away for my PfCO to the CAA. Again Robert checked in during this process making sure all was well. It took the CAA about 9 days in total so a really quick turnaround.

I highly recommend Robert and would suggest people to support local businesses. You 100% won't regret it".

  • The DJI Flight Simulator supports a wide range of DJI drones.

    Windows-based software lets pilots connect to compatible DJI remote controller.

  • Immersive, authentic flying experience

    Discover a world of training scenarios and hone your skills in a real-life environment.

Learn More About Drone Flying

Skills training offers flight tutorials and basic piloting exercises, such as take off, manoeuvring and hovering. Free flight mode gives pilots the chance to log virtual hours behind the stick while exploring a variety of scenes. Application training is designed for pilots preparing for industry-specific jobs, such as power-line inspections or search and rescue missions. The electricity-pylon module trains pilots to carry out routine inspections and identify random fault points. The search and rescue module teaches users how to fly in complex terrain, understand the Mini-Map for navigation, plan missions around battery life, fly at range and move the camera for best search visibility.
  • Hone skills in a safe environment

    Flight Simulator accurately models the way each drone performs in a real-life scenario, allowing users to practice without the risks or consequences of mishandling.


    Three flight modes are available and are identical to the ones on an actual drone. These are position mode, sport mode and the more challenging attitude mode.

  • Five POVs

    Pilot first-person view (FPV), remote-control view, drone FPV, drone-follow view and third person - lets the user immerse themselves in a flight experience, just as they would in real life.


    Using a sophisticated physics engine, DJI Flight Simulator can also simulate various flight conditions, such as changing day/night cycles, various wind speeds and weather conditions. It can also mimic ground effects and simulated crashes.

  • Seamless compatibility

    A range of DJI drones from the Mavic, Phantom, Inspire and Matrice 200 series are supported in the simulator, giving users an opportunity to train for the job with the right tool. 

  • Different versions of the simulator

    Two versions of the Flight Simulator are available, offering various functions.


    Free trial version:

    The functions are consumer drones, general settings and free flight.


    Enterprise version:

    The functions are the same as above, as well as enterprise drones, advanced parameter settings, skills training and application training - search and rescue.


    Customised version:

    The functions are the same as enterprise/free trial versions, but also include application training - power-line inspection, and customisation.
