Who Should Attend
Part 107 opens doors across a wide range of industries. Here’s who we typically train:
Aerial photos and video sell homes faster. Get licensed and offer a service your competitors can’t.
Site surveys, roof inspections, and progress documentation — drones make your job faster and safer.
Take your creative work to new heights — literally. Open up a whole new category of commercial work.
Crop monitoring, land surveys, and irrigation mapping are growing drone markets in New Mexico.
Want to start a drone services business? This is your first step. We’ll help you think beyond the test.
Already flying for fun? Get legal, get paid, and fly in airspace you couldn’t access before.
About Your Instructor
Our instructor isn’t just familiar with drones — flying has been a lifelong passion. With over a decade of hands-on flight experience starting at age nine, and a background that spans commercial aviation, drone photography, and FAA certification, you’re learning from someone who has done this at every level.
As a certificated commercial pilot in both single and multi-engine aircraft, our instructor brings a depth of airspace knowledge and flight discipline that goes well beyond what most drone courses offer. That aviation foundation is woven into everything we teach.
