Drone Pilot Ground School

Become an FAA certificated Drone Pilot to fly for commercial use!

Learn what is necessary to pass the FAA Knowledge Exam for drone certification (sUAS and Part 107)!

Why would I take lessons from balloon training experts? We’re more than just balloon training experts. We’re UAS certificated drone pilots and Federal Aviation Administration Safety Team Drone Pros! Not to mention our Co-founder and President, Adam Magee, is a designated by the Federal Aviation Administration as a Drone examiner meaning that he can issue Drone certificates in addition to hot air balloon private and commercial pilot certificates.

We’ve helped over 50% of all new balloon pilots earn their certificates, now we want to help those interested in earning their Drone certificates! We are proud to be a 501c3 non-profit organization with no paid staff! Just people with a passion for helping others!
