Drone Flying Academy — Singapore
Singapore's premier drone flying academy. Basic, Intermediate & Advanced courses for everyone — from hobbyists to professionals. SkillsFuture & NTUC UTAP claimable.
"Drone flying is so fun! I want to share it with you."
This is the idea that started Drones Singapore (DSS) Singapore. The flying experience should not be restricted to only a closed group of individuals, enthusiasts and professionals. We strongly believe that drone flying is for everyone; for the working adult who wants to dabble in a new hobby, or a young aspiring pilot who picks up a remote-control aircraft for the first time.
With the ever changing and increasingly challenging aviation scene in Singapore, it is DSS's obligation to teach the right thing and maintain a code of conduct within our community, while bringing positive flying experience to the mass. One of our core principle is to enforce safety while flying our unmanned aircraft, so that we can preserve the drone community's interests and allow everyone to continue sharing their flight experience with others.
DSS PTE. LTD. is recognised by local aviation authority to conduct aerial services in Singapore. On behalf of CAAS, DSS is committed to uphold both aviation and public safety standards.
Our drone instructors are trained by experts within the aviation scene, with many years of operational experiences, both locally and overseas. We are also academically qualified to answer all UA technical related queries.
DSS have partnered with several drone retailers which allows us to extend some of these support to our clients and alumni. This includes discounts on drone and accessories purchases, repair and drone related matters.
