More Information
Summary:A system and method for operating an indoor/outdoor drone in a training mode that limits the maximum altitude during flight, restricts the ability to perform rapid maneuvers, and also may disable the ability to conduct aerial stunts. The system includes a flight controller that may select between the training mode, a normal mode, and a stunt mode. In the training mode, the flight controller restricts an increase in altitude of the drone beyond an altitude threshold, and also restricts an increase in one or more movement parameters of the drone beyond respective movement parameter thresholds. The selection of the training mode may disable the ability for the user to select the stunt mode.
