At Drone Flight School, we use the Drone Legends curriculum because it provides an engaging, hands-on approach to STEM education that empowers students to become confident drone pilots and problem-solvers. Designed for all ages, this curriculum blends real-world drone applications with interactive challenges that teach essential concepts in engineering, physics, and coding. By using Drone Legends, we ensure our students develop critical thinking, teamwork, and technical skills in a structured yet exciting environment. This foundation not only prepares them for advanced drone operations but also sparks a lifelong passion for technology, aviation, and innovation.
In this comprehensive class, students dive into the fundamentals of becoming a certified drone pilot through engaging, real-world content that mirrors FAA expectations. They start with an overview of the certification process and move into key topics like drone laws, airspace rules, and safe operating practices. Students gain hands-on skills in reading FAA sectional charts and navigating complex airspace classifications. They also explore how to fly safely near airports, interpret weather data like METARs and TAFs, and handle night operations and in-flight emergencies. It's a rigorous, safety-first course designed to prepare future pilots for confident, compliant drone missions.
Our new class, Futures in Flight, introduces students to the exciting world of drone technology and the many career opportunities it offers. From aerial photography and agriculture to search and rescue, infrastructure inspection, and environmental science, drones are transforming industries across the globe. This course helps students explore real-world applications, gain hands-on experience, and discover pathways to high-demand, tech-driven jobs in the rapidly growing drone industry.
The FAA TRUST (The Recreational UAS Safety Test) is a required safety test for all recreational drone pilots in the United States. Mandated by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), TRUST is designed to ensure that hobbyist drone operators understand the basic rules and safety guidelines for flying unmanned aircraft. Anyone flying drones for fun must complete the test before taking to the skies. It’s free, available online through FAA-approved test administrators, and takes only about 30 minutes to complete. Once finished, pilots receive a certificate that they must carry with them during all recreational drone flights.
