Our PIlots

More than you may think...

Many folks may not realize that drones are legally considered aircraft by the FAA (Federal Aviation Administration).   The pilots are legally responsible for the safe operation of the aicraft and the protection of our national airspace safety.

 

Below are some things about our pilots and their skills that people may not be aware of.​

Testing to become a commercial unmanned pilot includes topics such as: aircraft operations, national airspace safety, aviation map reading, weather considerations, etc.

 

Continuing Education

Pilots must successfully pass a continuing education test every two years in order for their license to be considered active.

ThermaL IMaging
