About Course

Initial qualification course for pilots of the Draganfly Heavy Lift, derived task-for-task from PQS-HL-01, the platform Qualification Standard. It follows the standard course sequence used for every platform — ground school first, then flight training: operating limitations, immediate action memory items, aircraft and payload systems, normal operations (takeoff, landing, visual-line-of-sight flying), emergency procedures, then mission-specific operations including mission planning. The order is the military qualification model: what can kill you is learned first and to the highest standard.

Every lesson objective traces to a PQS task; the written exam gates and the final practical evaluation are built from the same tasks. Completion requires each topic exam gate and a qualification evaluation graded Q on all required tasks by a qualified instructor.

Course Content

Topic 1 — Foundations: Limits & Critical Actions
Operating limitations and immediate action procedures come first, memorized to 100%, before any systems theory. Feeds PQS tasks HL.I.1, HL.I.5, HL.VII.1.

Topic 2 — Systems Knowledge
Now that the envelope is memorized, learn the machine inside it: airframe, power, avionics, flight modes, failsafe logic, and batteries. Feeds PQS Areas I–II.

Topic 3 — Ground Operations & Mission Planning
Assembly and inspection discipline, site survey, regulatory compliance, DGCS mission construction, checklists, and the crew brief. Feeds PQS Areas III–IV.

Topic 4 — Flight Procedures
Normal procedures and callouts, automated missions and payloads, and the complete emergency procedure set beyond the memory items. Ground study for the field phase. Feeds PQS Areas V–VII.

Topic 5 — Practical Phase & Qualification
Three instructor-delivered field lessons and the qualification evaluation. Each lesson card lists its tasks by PQS task — the instructor grade sheet is the same list.
