Now that you have your drone, it's time to do something with it. Besides traveling with Sky Safari Drone Tours, maybe that means becoming a Commercial Drone Pilot. That's where the Pilot Institute can help. Pilot Institute has trained all our Senior Pilots to pass the FAA 14 CFR Part 107 exam on their first try with great scores.

Countless Americans fly drones for fun, for work, for research and to keep people safe. However, some in Congress and in state capitols across the nation have proposed legislation that threatens the way that we use drones and would restrict the market by cutting out some of the most popular drone manufacturers simply because of where they are manufactured. In some cases, these proposals could even permanently ground your drones.

We use and recommend Adobe imaging products. For example: Premiere Pro for video editing; Photoshop for editing stills; Audition for sound editing and compositing.
