Certificated Remote Pilot

Remote aircraft provide an exciting way of looking at our natural resources in their larger context. I'm particularly interested in their photographic and video capabilities.

Certificates

Federal Aviation Administration Remote Pilot, Small Unmanned Aircraft Systems, Part 107 (2021 July 24; Recurrent training due 2027 July 31)

Federal Aviation Administration Recreational Unmanned Aircraft TRUST Certificate (2021 July 23; does not expire)

Federal Aviation Administration Private Pilot, Single Engine Land, Part 61 (2021 June 23; next flight review due 2027 May 31; operating under BasicMed expires 2029 Oct 31, recurrent training next due 2027 Oct 31)

I periodically offer a Remote Pilot Certification & Piloting Skills course to prepare prospective remote pilots for the FAA's Part 107 Remote Pilot Certification and to teach basic piloting skills.
