Meet the Drone Pilot

20240807_110521.jpg

Hello and welcome,

          My name is Mark. I began my career as a Drone pilot in May 2017.

 

          As of May 2025, I have ~162 hours of flight experience and I own a DJI Mavic 2 ProDJI Mavic 2 Zoom, and a DJI Avata 2 FPV drone. Here is a recent video I recorded with my Mavic 2 Pro.

          How did I get into drones ?   While one day shopping a consumer electronics retail chain, I was passing by the drone aisle and then spontaneously purchased a Yuneec Q500 drone. After I opened up the packaging, there was some documentation that led me to the FAA website. There I found information about how to become a drone pilot.

 

           I began to study for the Part 107 test using the resources on this page. I took my first Part 107 test in April of 2017 at Norwood Airport Norwood, Massachusetts.  To learn how to schedule your exam CLICK HERE.

           I continue to learn every time I fly and recommend that you do as well. It is also important to learn about the Rules, Aviation, Weather, and how your drone operates and what its limitations are.

           I enjoy routine practice flights to be sure I maintain and build on the skills of my flying.  Feel free to contact me here if you have any comments, questions.

 

           I strongly recommend every drone pilot to fly safely and responsibly.  Click here for some fun drone stuff to learn about.

           Remember..A Good pilot is always learning.
