These qualifications enable Anna to undertake particular drone flights within the Open and Specific categories. Gaining the qualifications involved both an online theory course and exam (May 2022), and a ground flight school and exam \u2013 held at scenic Wasps FC in Acton (June 2022). Anna would like to thank her Consortiq instructors, Andy Huggett and Michael Surcombe, for their guidance and support. In the coming months, Anna is excited to hone her drone flight skills and to explore what they might mean and open up for her research.
