Offers Educational Campaign For Fledgling UAV Pilots

A manufacturer of consumer electronics and wearables has announced "Fly Safely!", an educational campaign to promote safe flight by first-time UAV owners.

The company is Mota, and the launch of Fly Safely! comes after last month's debut of the world's smallest, lightest drone: Mota JETJAT Nano.

"JETJAT Nano gives anyone the ability to pilot a high-performance aircraft," said Mota President Michael Faro. "Nano is inexpensive, fun to fly, and can go almost anywhere. For the first time, people can operate a drone as casually as they use a phone. We want everybody to enjoy our little Nano responsibly, so that others around them share in the pleasure of flight."

Fortune estimated consumer drone sales at between $800 million to $1 billion worldwide, while the Consumer Electronics Association projected up to 1 million drone flights/day in the U.S. by 2025.

Monda says Fly Safely! takes a gently humorous approach to flight etiquette and safety. The campaign includes a series of social posts with flight tips for treading lightly in the sky, outreach to leading R/C and drone clubs, and a free poster for individuals and organizations such as schools.
