Welcome aboard. I'm Kevin Padilla, founder of AeroVis Drone Solutions. I spent 20 years in Army aviation, have been flying since 2014, and fly helicopters in air medical operations today.
I built this room for people who want to grow in drones and learn from each other's experience. You might be studying for Part 107 or working through a problem on a paid job. Bring the questions that matter to you.
First flight to first contract. Start wherever you are. Every section is open from day one.
If you're studying for Part 107, open the Classroom. The full ground school recording includes timestamp links so you can return to a specific subject. It's a free study aid, not a pass guarantee.
Use Equipment for aircraft and sensor questions. Operations is for planning and flying the mission. Software covers processing and deliverables. Business is for pricing, finding clients, and the decisions involved in running your operation.
The Contracts board is for work you actually hold and need help covering. Read its pinned instructions before posting or responding. Sharing an opportunity does not guarantee anyone work.
Check the Calendar for upcoming Live Sessions. The current classes run 90 minutes, with an hour of instruction followed by 30 minutes for questions and scenarios. Look in Recorded Sessions + Highlights for available replays.
Introduce yourself in the comments. Tell us where you're based and what you're working toward. Then open the Calendar and choose a session you can attend.
Glad you're here.
Kevin
