We are very proud that our pilot network training is off to a great start. In our first couple of trainings, we have certified nearly 20 pilots to fly our required flight profiles for most of the major cellular providers. Training for tower inspections is conducted in east central Alabama at a training facility with multiple live cell towers. This course is 3 full days of training - including classroom time, on site safety training, flying techniques and the specific photography and video requirements of the flight profile. Upon completion, pilots are qualified to inspect cell towers under our contracts. We train nearly every Tuesday through Thursday and just completed the last training for December, but begin training again on January 9th and have openings available in the later part of January.

Our pilots have trained with aircraft ranging from the Phantom 4 Pro, the entire line of Inspires as well as the Matrice 200 and Matrice 210. We bring the Matrice line of aircraft to training each week because when the weather gets wet (fog, drizzle and rain) its the only aircraft that is able to continue to fly and allow our pilots to advance their training. Without the M200 and M210 we would have not been able to complete some of our training on time. Using the high capacity TB55s is also a big bonus for inspecting cell towers. Our pilots flying the Inspire 2 have encountered some issues without having a true POI or Orbit mode. We are in the process of vetting the use of a 3rd party app to overcome this issue.

If tower inspection does not interest you, we have other opportunities nearing the final stage of completion for our pilot network as well. They will include business lines such as Utility (power lines), Construction, Roadway Mapping, Golf Courses (video and turf analysis) and a couple others we can not discuss yet.
If you have your Part 107 certificate and are interested in doing some contract work, we invite you to join our network and see what we can do together. Being part of our network has other perks as well (including discounts on all your equipment and accessory needs).
We look forward to flying with you sometime soon!
