Anyone who is seeking to improve their drone flight skills or receive training for a specific industry. For more information on the features Zephyr has to offer please reference our features.
Zephyr was designed from the ground up to be a training tool for growing real world skills. The enterprise version includes the Learning Management System meant to be used in classroom, workforce development, and training program environments. It is also great for businesses to track simulated flight times and scores of internal and contracted operators.
Most of the simulator is self contained. Instructions will show on the left side of the screen in modules and the after action reports provide information about lost points.
Basic Tutorials:
The learning management system (LMS) is a highly effective tool that can be utilized to increase operational efficiency of your training program. Using our web portal in combination with Zephyr Drone Simulator, instructors and operators can view data on the flights of both individuals and entire classes. More information on the features Zephyr has to offer can be found on our features.
Zephyr can save you both time and money by allowing you to track student progress without having to look over their shoulder. It also reduces the chances of drones being destroyed or damaged in training through operator error. Zephyr was designed to allow many students to go through training at one time, so if you have a limited number of drones that can be flown at one time, Zephyr is a great way to allow students to train as they prepare and cycle through using the physical drones.
Using Zephyr also increases both instructor confidence in their students and student confidence in themselves since they will have a better foundation for how to fly and control a drone than if they jump straight into trying to fly expensive equipment in the field.

Zephyr is a constantly growing and evolving training platform. We take user and customer feedback very seriously and do everything we can to make Zephyr the best drone training tool possible. If you have feedback or specific features you or your institution requires please contact us at [email protected].
We have also worked with schools and businesses to create content specifically for their students, employees and customers through a software development agreement. Please contact our sales team if you are interested at [email protected].
Zephyr logs flight time in the simulator, which is stored and can be accessed later online through the integrated learning management system. If you are idle for too long in the simulator, it will not count your report/flight time for that module. The simulator will notify you if this occurs. This is done to keep logged flight time meaningful and to accurately report the amount of time a user flies in the simulator.
We also have an optional integration with Drone Logbook where you can send your reports automatically from Zephyr to the Drone Logbook system to be included in your simulated flight time.

This issue is most often caused by Zephyr detecting an active-but-unreleased pressing of the Flight Mode Switch command, usually from a controller with toggle switches like the FS-i6s. This active input prevents Zephyr from reading the input of your F1 key, as the system reads that same command as already being entered. Setting the toggle switch to a neutral state will stop the Flight Mode Switch input, allowing the F1 input to work
Alternatively, setting the toggle switch to neutral and then returning it to the Flight Mode Switch position will achieve the same result as pressing F1 on your keyboard.
