Business & Economics Podcasts
Hi everyone, Welcome to the channel - I'm Matt Williams, Founder of the ICARUS Drone Course. I'm an ex RAF Helicopter Instructor and I've been flying model helicopters and planes for more than 20 years. We were flying our custom built, large model helicopters with gimbals and cameras attached to them, for the FIlm and TV industry before the drone revolution even began and we now run ICARUS - the world's largest and fastest growing Commercial Drone Training School. I've been obsessed with aviation and business since I was a child and we've set up this channel to help educate those who are in, or entering, the exciting world of aviation and business and are building an awesome community of like-minded people. Welcome to the channel - we've got content coming out all the time (and we're going to be building content on manned aviation soon, too... So stay tuned for updates on that). There are more videos and reviews coming all the time so be sure to check back regularly or subscribe to stay up to date! Blue skies, Matt

Time Is RUNNING OUT Drone Pilots - ACT NOW Dont Get Caught Out By Lockdown Mr MPW
11/4/2020
TIME IS RUNNING OUT FOR UK DRONE OPERATORS... Hey everyone & welcome to the channel! Today, a reminder for all UK PfCO holders (past and present) that if you don't have a valid PfCO on the 31st December 2020, then you'll have to do your commercial drone training course AGAIN, if you want those permissions in the future... That's right, if you let your PfCO expire and don't have it valid when we move over to the new drone regulations, you'll need to do a GVC training course (including flight test in most cases) in order to be able to fly under the 'top' tier of permissions in the UK. To help everyone get themselves ready for this, you can get £50 off our Operations Manual update service by using the link below... The discount will be included automatically at checkout. The code is valid until midnight on the 7th November 2020... Let us complete get your Ops Manual up to date, so you can get your renewal into the CAA in the next few weeks... No risk, no fuss! https://www.mrmpw.com/discou

UPDATE CAA Drone Operator Registration - RENEWAL FAIL Or WIN Mr MPW
10/23/2020
UPDATE ON THE CAA DMARES - DRONE OPERATOR RENEWAL SYSTEM - FAILS AND WINS!!! Hey everyone, I hope you're all doing well! Thanks so much for ALL your messages over the last few days - about the channel AND, more importantly, about the situation surrounding the CAA Drone Operator Registration Renewal Portal. Looks like it's a 50 / 50 split... Some people are getting it done just fine and KEEPING their Operator ID's, with their registration date being preserved... And the rest of us... Well, we're still battling with no payment options, no renewal options and being given new Operator ID's and losing a few weeks of registration 'time' because the process hasn't worked as intended... FRUSTRATING isn't the word. The CAA have been asking people to give them another week to get it sorted, so we'll do that, check again and keep you all up to date. ALSO: Some interesting NEWS about the changes to the Registration Scheme in the next 12 months! Please feel free to leave any comments or questions b

CAA Drone Operator Registration - RENEWAL UPDATE Mr MPW
10/15/2020
CAA DMARES - DRONE OPERATOR RENEWAL UPDATE & NEWS!!! First off - I'm sorry I've been away for so long; needed to divert my attention to family and friends during the situation over the summer and make sure we made it through ok as a family... I hope you're all doing well & have managed to keep safe throughout! :) Hey everyone, we've been asking the CAA as a community, what their plans were surrounding renewals for the Drone Operator Registration Scheme for a few months now... With little to no response from them. Today, we have some news about the registration scheme and renewal of your Operator ID - in the form of the first round of Renewal Reminder Emails, which have been sent out to a bunch of registered operators... Great news that they're reminding us, but it doesn't seem like the renewal portal is working correctly at the moment... Fingers crossed they'll fix it quickly and we can all keep using our 'current' Operator ID's, rather than having to be issued new ones but... We'll se
