Free DJI New Pilot Experience Event Lands in Fukui City This March

Four days from now, a free introductory drone flight session organized under DJI's New Pilot Experience program will open its doors at the Miyama Training Center in Fukui City, Fukui Prefecture. The two-hour event, scheduled for 10:00 to 12:00 on Saturday, March 14, 2026, is aimed at first-time pilots looking to get their hands on DJI hardware in a structured, guided setting.

The listing, published March 5, confirmed the event carries no registration fee and operates with limited capacity, which means seats are expected to fill quickly given the low barrier to entry. Fukui City is not typically considered a hub for drone sport activity in the way that larger metro areas in Japan often are, which makes the Miyama Training Center booking notable as an indication that DJI is pushing its pilot development programs into smaller regional markets.

The New Pilot Experience format is DJI's structured onboarding program, designed to walk complete beginners through the fundamentals of safe drone operation. For a region like Fukui Prefecture, where formal access to DJI-led instruction is limited, Saturday's session represents a direct pipeline into the competitive and recreational drone community.

With the free event capped at a limited number of participants, those who have not yet secured a spot have roughly four days to act before the March 14 session kicks off.
