House in snow from directly above.  There is a triangle around the house comprising two streams and a road.  The trees are bare and look like matchsticks.

Remote Pilot Certification Preparation.  Prepare for the Federal Aviation Administration Part 107  & NC Commercial & Government exams.   (Course does not include the exams and I cannot grant or guarantee certification.)

Picture of me holding a table and controller with an image of me from a drone that is flying just above the tablet. A bit meta.

Basic Remote Piloting Skills.  Learn the basics of remote piloting, with a focus on rudimentary piloting, safety, checklists, and crew resource management.  

Get your hands on a drone (which we'll supply) and fly!
