    5.0 out of 5 stars Information that every drone pilot must know
    Reviewed in the United States on November 4, 2025

    I learned a lot from the Pocket Pilot by Amanda Otis. There are many facts in this book that I must learn to take my Part 107 test. But the book also includes tips and tricks for flying a drone legally, safely, and avoiding conditions that cause crashes. At the end of the book, there are many links to drone resources, including study materials, courses, maps, and checklists. I recommend this book to anyone who owns a drone or is considering purchasing one. In either case, this is information a drone pilot must know.

    4.0 out of 5 stars Short, condensed, useful information
    Reviewed in the United States on October 2, 2025
    Format: KindleVerified Purchase
    Goes over the rules, including things that I didn't know about, such as the maximum altitude of 400 feet. Includes a very helpful pre-flight checklist that can be printed, laminated, and taken out into the field. The one thing I felt was missing was help on mastering the actual controlling of the drone - such a simple flight exercises or tricks to improve coordination. Also, there is some empty "notes" pages as filler.

    Still a useful and otherwise helpful book.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Great little guide for beginners
    Reviewed in the United States on October 9, 2025
    Format: KindleVerified Purchase
    Just got my first drone and this pocket book has been super helpful. It explains the basics in simple terms—how to fly, what the controls do, safety rules you need to know. The pre-flight checklist keeps me from forgetting important stuff, and the troubleshooting section already saved me once when my drone acted weird. It's actually small enough to throw in your bag, which is nice when you're out flying. Not for experts, but if you're new to drones and want a quick reference that makes sense, this is perfect.

    However, more advanced users may find the content somewhat limited. The guide focuses heavily on foundational skills, so those looking for in-depth technical details, cinematic filming techniques, or advanced drone customization might want more depth than this book provides.

    I gave this to a family friend who just got their first drone and they said it really helped them feel more confident. I read parts of it myself and liked how it explained the basics without getting too technical or overwhelming. It covers safety rules, flying tips, and even a bit on photography. It reminded me of when my son tried flying a drone without any guidance and ended up stuck in a tree. This guide would’ve saved him a lot of trouble.

    Format: KindleVerified Purchase
    This pocket sized guide has some really useful information for new pilots. It covers the important essentials that everyone should know before flying the aircraft, regardless of it's size. The book is broken into chapters covering the essentials and not going into great detail. This book, as stated by the title, can be read quickly but covers everything necessary for safe flying, with the added bonus of some photography and videography tips. For anyone starting out this is a great little guide and easy to understand. Fly safe!

    A concise, practical introduction to drone flying that covers safety, controls, and basic aerial photography in a way that feels approachable for first-time pilots. The notes sections and clear explanations help build confidence quickly. It is largely based on US regulations, so UK readers should cross-check local CAA rules, but as a starter reference it works well
