[Saitama, Kawagoe] COEDO Drone School Opens New All-Lawn Outdoor Training Field "COEDO DRONE FIELD"

COEDO DRONE FIELD

"COEDO DRONE," operated by Echo Station (Headquarters: Kawagoe, Saitama; CEO: Takuji Iwasaki), has opened a new dedicated outdoor drone flight training field, "COEDO DRONE FIELD," aimed at enhancing drone flight skills and supporting national certification acquisition.

Under the concept of "Helping your dream of becoming a pilot come true," COEDO DRONE provides thorough support for both knowledge and technical skills for drone pilots rooted in the community.

"COEDO DRONE FIELD" is a vast outdoor facility with an all-lawn surface equivalent to approximately six tennis courts. It features two courts compliant with national certification exams, providing an optimal environment to safely practice essential and difficult maneuvers such as "square flight" and "figure-eight flight."

The school emphasizes ongoing support rather than ending with certification. On May 16, 2026, it held an "Agricultural Drone Pilot Seminar & Demonstration" for students and professional pilots, and regularly hosts events for post-graduation skill development.

■ Background of Opening "COEDO DRONE FIELD"

With the full-scale implementation of the drone national certification system, the number of people aiming for licenses for business and hobbies is increasing. However, many practice fields have faced issues like "machines getting dirty or damaged by gravel and dirt" and "lack of space for bold practice."

For precision instruments like drones, moisture and dust are major enemies. To protect students' precious drones and allow practice for the essential "square" and "figure-eight" maneuvers at full scale, "COEDO DRONE FIELD" was created on a vast all-lawn site in Kawagoe.
