About Us
Do you want to be trained by Commercial Helicopter Pilots with real-world commercial drone experience at the only combined Helicopter pilot AND Drone pilot training company in the country?
Hummingbird are proud to say that we are neither drone retailers nor retired pilots.
We are actively flying helicopters and drones, day in day out in the civilian airspace environment…the same environment that our students are trained to operate in. We will pass on all our knowledge of current aviation laws and practices and ensure that every Hummingbird graduate has the confidence and airmanship to operate safely in UK airspace.
Hummingbird UAV is owned by an ex-North Sea and Air Ambulance pilot with nearly 20 years commercial flying and training experience worldwide. Our instructors are some of the best in the UK and we are proud to say that we maintain a 100% safety record, both in Helicopters and drones.
Headquartered centrally at Doncaster Sheffield Airport, and with bases throughout the UK, Hummingbird UAV will give you first class, customer focused, bespoke pilot training.

The team at Hummingbird UAV are exceptional!
What a fantastic company and a brilliant experience. Being involved with such a high-class operation installs confidence in results from day one. We recommend that any work relating to drones, air and flight is done alongside this company.
A fantastic course and the people at Hummingbird are fantastic, they make it so simple and help at every stage I cannot recommend highly enough!
Highly recommend the drone course with Matt and Lewis. Professional, informative, exciting and fun.
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!
Professionally delivered in a relaxed atmosphere, with a very knowledgeable course instructor.
Great course delivered by an experienced instructor.
