We understand many drone hobbyists have become very comfortable with recreational flying. Over time many begin to consider turning their hobby into a form of income. That’s great! There’s nothing like making some extra money, or a career, out of something you enjoy doing.

Having said that, one big mistake often made by new commercial remote pilots is thinking they can simply take turn their recreational flight experience into a commercial application. All too often they are ill-prepared and run into several unforeseen issues that they never experienced when recreational flying. As a hobbyist, you often get the choice of location, the days/conditions you choose to fly, and so on. When taking on a commercial job, however, there are many new factors, conditions, and flight patterns that are not often experienced during recreational flying. As such, you’ll need to be become skilled in navigating and assessing those commercial flights before taking on a job.

Simply put, if you want to start on the right foot, impress your clients, and decrease risk to your equipment and others, then the answer is, Yes. This Commercial Flight Course will give you a head-start while also saving you a ton of unwanted surprises, heart-ache, and money.
