Your Flight Path – What You’ll Learn
1.
FAA Part 107 Readiness
Students are introduced to core aviation concepts through interactive modules that break down FAA Part 107 topics. From understanding controlled vs. uncontrolled airspace to weather effects and pre-flight checklists, learners build the knowledge needed to pass the FAA exam—and fly safely and legally.
2.
Drone Controls That Feel Real
Using high-fidelity simulators and realistic gamepad-style controllers, students practice takeoffs, landings, turns, and maneuvers in virtual airspace. These exercises develop muscle memory and flight instincts, setting the foundation for real-world piloting with confidence.
3.
Mission-Based Learning That Builds Skills
Each training mission is designed to simulate real drone industry use cases. Students learn to navigate obstacle courses, scan rooftops for damage, map terrain for agriculture or construction, and simulate search-and-rescue operations—skills that transfer directly to high-demand career paths.
4.
Career Connections with Every Flight
Each activity ties directly to real-world job roles—from public safety and construction to environmental monitoring and cinematography. Students do more than fly; they explore career pathways and develop critical thinking, teamwork, and technical skills aligned with in-demand industries.
