Hi there,

 

Since you stumbled upon my webpages, I assume you are a UAS enthusiast!

 

It doesn't matter whether you are a commercial UAS operator, a recreational UAS user, a public entity operator like law enforcement or fire or search and rescue person, or simply an educational user wondering if this is the career path for you, I hope that these pages bring you some guidance!

 

I have a slew of information, starting with 14 pages of ground school in preparation for the Part 107 remote pilot written test or Part 61 add-on. There are pages devoted to each specific user, pages devoted to job hunting, or counter-UAS technology. I even wrote an extensive FREE webbook on Global Drone Laws (see link below).

 

I hope you find what you are looking for on this site. And if not, please reach out to me. I always appreciate your feedback and I am constantly updating the pages!

Drones Across the World - 

This webbook is structured the way the United Nations views the globe, in 6 main areas, Northern America, Latin America and the Caribbean, Oceania, Europe, Asia, and Africa. In my course it is intended to be taught in a sequence, but it is also easily searchable by country if used as a reference guide.

 

This webbook has an interactive design with hyperlinks, and authenticated sources, that promotes information literacy. Questions are provided in order to promote discussion and critical thinking, indicative of higher learning.

 

While still copyrighted content, it is freely distributed worldwide under a Creative Commons, non-commercial, and non-derivative license.
