Teachers

Teachers of the Training Centre constantly improve their own skills and undergo timely professional development. They perform practical tasks: they participate in search and rescue operations and exercises in the interests of law enforcement agencies, regularly go on business trips and carry out work together with ZALA flight units.

Training and material base

Prior to training flights, students undergo theoretical training, during which they study Russian air legislation, flight safety fundamentals, aerodynamics, air navigation and the design of the BAS and its components.

They are trained on specialised simulators in which they are fully simulated:

  • the possibility of preparing and launching the BVS (VR);
  • real flight conditions, on different types of aircraft, where instructors set different weather conditions, terrain, and abnormal situations.

For more effective training, specific flight tasks are modelled on simulators; an individual level of complexity is selected. The whole process of task fulfilment is controlled by the instructor, who can make changes to the task at any time.

The ZALA Training Centre is available for practical flights:

  • seventeen ZALA unmanned systems of different modifications (aircraft and multicopter type);
  • three vehicle-based ground control stations - Mercedes Sprinter, Gaz Sobol, Ford Transit;
  • portable control systems.

There is also equipment in the armoury for practicing practical tasks under given scenarios.

Specialised software is used to work with photo and video materials captured during flights.

Living conditions

When training at ZALA Training Centre, conditions for accommodation of non-resident trainees are created.

There is a gym and a canteen on the territory of the Training Centre. Excursion programmes are provided on weekends.
