CONGRATULATIONS to our January drone license class and first class of 2026! Our ten students came from many backgrounds - electric utility, Dept of Energy, excavation, construction, project management, solar and college. They dug into the two-day course, and on the day after, they ALL passed the FAA drone exam with the highest class average score we've ever had! By the end of this week, they will be ten new drone pilots! Are YOU ready to join us to earn your drone license?

Thank you, 9News Denver! They reached out to us on the Fourth of July to help them report a story on how the Wheat Ridge, Colorado, Police Department was planning to use drones to spot illegal fireworks in their city. In an interview with the reporter, I listed both the legal requirements for flying drones and the challenge of finding a fireworks location at night. We believe that experimenting with new applications for drones is both essential and inevitable law enforcement and other industries. Watch the story which aired at 6 PM on July 4. https://bit.ly/4cvSiqp

Our July Drone License Ground School class included our first attendee with four legs. For most of the class he was on service animal duty. I did see him sleeping through the airspace lesson. But he worked really hard to bone up on the weather lesson. And of course he got a participation certificate! I know all his classmates passed their FAA knowledge exams but I heard he got distracted playing with the computer mouse. Can't promise he'll be back for our August (9-10) or September (6-7) classes. But if you have a well-behaved guest, let us know so we can put out the water bowl!
