About Hawking Drone School · Founded September 2026
Building skilled pilots for the future of unmanned aviation.
Hawking Drone School opened in September 2026 as a DGCA-approved RPTO at Kakkalur. We develop skilled, safety-conscious drone professionals through structured learning, simulator exposure and practical flight training — with founding cohorts now open.
Who We Are.
Hawking Drone School is a DGCA-approved RPTO founded in September 2026. We are building a practical learning environment for aspiring drone professionals — combining aviation fundamentals, regulatory awareness, simulator-based familiarisation and real-world flight practice.
We believe effective drone training goes beyond learning to control an aircraft. Students must understand mission planning, operational safety, risk assessment, equipment handling, flight documentation and responsible UAV operations.
