Drone Operations Training
Enhance your piloting, safety and drone imagery capabilities
There are many considerations to make when planning and executing drone operations, from pilot capabilities, to equipment and software selection, to environmental conditions. Island UAV offers two levels of drone operations training which provide expert knowledge and step-by-step instructions for conducting safe and successful flights. They will equip you with the knowledge and skills necessary for safe and effective drone use.
These trainings may address some but not all knowledge necessary for the FAA Part 107 exam. It is recommended that training participants familiarize themselves with drone regulations prior to attending training. Information on drone regulations and additional study material for the Part 107 exam is available in resources.
Intro Level
