Robert Dobbin is Northern Ireland’s leading Drone Pilot Instructor
A trusted, experienced mentor for anyone serious about becoming a safe, skilled, and 3iC CAA‑qualified drone operator.
As a 3iC A2 CofC and 3iC GVC‑qualified Drone Pilot Instructor, Practical Flight Assessor, and Examiner with 3iC, I bring a calm, structured, and highly professional approach to every stage of pilot development. Based in Belfast, I specialise in guiding new and developing pilots through the full training journey — from first steps on the sticks to achieving recognised CAA certification with confidence.
My training style is hands‑on, supportive, and focused on real‑world flying. Every session is designed to build genuine competence, not just pass a test. With a background in training development and specialist practical flight instruction, I tailor each course to the individual, ensuring every pilot leaves with the skills, understanding, and mindset needed to operate safely and professionally.
At my fully insured Drone Pilot Training Academy, you’ll receive high‑quality instruction, clear guidance, and the reassurance of learning with an instructor who puts safety, standards, and student success first.
