    ??PfCO, GVC, A2 CofC & OFQUAL Level 4 ??

    Good morning UK Pilots, I have decided to go for my PfCO, but to hold off until I could do the GVC. I had a comany in mind I was 100% settled on going with, but today I see an offer from another company (let’s call them company ‘B’) offering; PfCO, GVC AND A2 CofC (+ a wee extra free). If...

    Professional Drone Pilot Course in Spain - Beware

    Sorry to learn of your health concerns and we appreciate the heads-up. Sounds like the Quadcopter God’s were not on your side for this one... ?

    Bark Alternative

    Yeah, that’s the one. The problem is that it pops up in the #1 spot for every search, followed by the Pay-Per-Clicks! £17 ($15) to submit a reply, where too cheap or too expensive and you don’t get chosen. Don’t focus on the right area in the reply and you don’t get chosen. There again, the...

    Bark Alternative

    Hey Fellow Pilots, We have a company called ‘Bark’ in the ?? & I believe it’s available in the ?? too. My question is; Is there any alternatives to Bark? They do seem to be #1 on any Google/Yahoo/AOL search... ?

    Business in the real world

    Ah... got cha! Yes, I definitely understand that part. If 12 weeks of lockdown taught my wife & I anything, it’s that ‘we love each other (bless)’, but in small doses... The alternative is divorce, which is more expensive than starting a new business, so she is very supportive. ? Thanks again!

    Business in the real world

    Hi, Thanks for sharing and I have had a really good look at your website too. I have seen websites that tell, but have no examples, but yours is very informative with great examples. ? You have a very valid point. We have a very niche market in my area and some free examples to build the website...

    Business in the real world

    Thank you. Yeah, I know it's about the initial investment and putting the right amount of £££ ($$$) in the right place. Having run a business for 19 years, that part isn't so much an issue, it's more about consistansy in income and the business model. We have a business here called 'Copters' who...

The Con’s are beginning...

    Business in the real world

    Thank you for that. Very helpful. I’ve seen a few specific to the UK that are very encouraging, but few that show the reality, hence why I asked here. I hope the answers help others in the future too.

    Business in the real world

    I really appreciate the time you took to share your personal experience and story. Your climate sounds similar to mine and very unpredictable. I am so eager to have my current business celebrate its ‘20yr anniversary’ in April, but its the health risk if there’s a Covid spike in the winter (I’m...

    Business in the real world

    Thank you for that, I didn’t take the daylight saving time into account, nor extra software. I expected winter to be quieter, but it’s budgeting that’s always the hurdle. 80% unsuccessful is a huge amount! I think the problem is that (as others also say), there’s not enough regulation, which...
