The Hummingbird team recently provided our company with excellent theoretical knowledge and practical preparation for our PfCO assessments. As novice UAV geeks we had a sharp learning curve to face before we felt comfortable taking the assessment, but Matt and Lewis provided sound advice and a calm learning environment so that we were prepared for the flight assessment, and performed well on the day. We now have the basis for safe commercial operations and look forward to becoming proper UAV geeks!
