We are excited to announce new drone training programs designed specifically for groups. Our first program is the Moving Vehicle Operations (MVO) Certificate Training Course.
MVO is a highly effective operating option when you are faced with long distances or bad weather. FAA 14 CFR Part 107 allows the operation of UAVs from a moving vehicle with certain restrictions.
This comprehensive, scenario based, hands on flight training program trains personnel to become team members to accomplish a variety of UAV data acquisition tasks, perform at peak performance, and increase safety and efficiency.
Get your personnel out of the elements and into comfortable operating conditions!
