Preparing Tomorrow’s Drone Experts

As drones become essential tools across various industries, skilled, certified pilots are in higher demand than ever. Airversity Drone Pilot Training offers comprehensive courses that equip participants with the knowledge and hands-on skills they need to excel as drone operators in commercial, industrial, and public safety fields. Our training curriculum includes:

FAA Part 107 Exam Preparation: Our FAA Part 107 Exam Prep course provides all the tools and knowledge needed to pass the FAA certification exam, a requirement for commercial drone operation. This comprehensive, self-paced course not only covers the exam content but also ensures students understand airspace regulations, safe operating procedures, and best practices.

Flight Training: We recognize that mastering real-world flight skills is essential to safe and effective drone operations. Our flight training program includes instruction on drone maneuvering, system operation, and best practices for navigating various environments. By the end of this training, students gain the confidence to manage diverse flight scenarios safely and effectively.

Thermography Training: Thermal imaging has become invaluable for industries like building inspection, firefighting, and environmental monitoring. Our thermography training helps pilots gain proficiency in using thermal cameras to detect heat anomalies, analyze thermal data, and apply these skills in practical scenarios that can prevent costly equipment failures and improve emergency response.

LIDAR and Sensor Training: Our LiDAR and sensor training covers how to use drones equipped with advanced sensors to generate precise 3D mapping and conduct environmental assessments. These skills are increasingly in demand across industries like agriculture, construction, and environmental conservation.

Geospatial Training for Public Safety, Industrial, and Commercial Applications: Mapping and data analytics are crucial in sectors like utilities, telecom, and public safety. Our geospatial training program teaches students how to collect, analyze, and interpret photogrammetric and geospatial data, skills that support clients in managing assets, planning projects, and ensuring compliance with regulatory requirements.

Air Echo On-Demand Drone Services

In addition to training, Airversity offers nationwide, on-demand drone services through our Air Echo division, a trusted partner for data collection and inspection projects across the United States. With FAA-certified pilots and extensive operational expertise, Air Echo supports industries that require precision, safety, and real-time insights. Key areas of service include:

Inspection and Mapping for Critical Infrastructure: The need for regular inspection and monitoring of critical infrastructure, such as telecom towers, energy facilities, and utility lines, is essential for public safety and operational efficiency. Air Echo pilots conduct inspections using photogrammetry and geospatial data collection, providing clients with precise visual assessments of their assets. This data is instrumental in detecting issues early, planning maintenance, and extending the lifespan of critical infrastructure.

Climate and Environmental Monitoring: Drones play a vital role in tracking environmental changes and helping businesses comply with environmental standards. At Air Echo, we provide drone services equipped with air and water quality sensors to monitor pollutants and conduct erosion risk assessments. Our data helps prevent waterway contamination, guides environmental policy, and aids in efforts to counteract the impact of climate change.

Disaster Response: In the event of natural disasters, rapid data collection is crucial. Our team supports disaster response efforts by providing real-time mapping, damage assessment, and situational awareness. With drone-assisted data, emergency responders gain valuable insights to guide rescue operations, coordinate relief efforts, and assess damage accurately. This technology allows communities to recover more quickly and effectively from catastrophic events.

Addressing Climate Change

Climate change is an escalating concern, and Airversity is committed to using drone technology to support communities impacted by extreme weather events, particularly flooding. Over 133 million Americans live in areas vulnerable to flooding, and as climate impacts intensify, these communities are at increasing risk.

Our projects include flood mapping and early-warning assessments for regions with high flood potential, helping local governments and organizations proactively address flood risks andimplement safety measures. By monitoring erosion-prone areas, managing sediment control, and evaluating flood defenses, we help clients minimize soil loss and protect water resources.

Upcoming Events

Our commitment to advancing drone education continues with events and training sessions throughout the year.

Level 1 Thermographic Applications + Operational Readiness Training: Scheduled for March 3-7, 2025, this specialized training covers thermographic applications for drone operators. Participants will gain firsthand experience with thermal drones, learning essential skills for infrastructure inspections, public safety, and environmental monitoring. With demand for thermographic expertise growing, this course provides unique value for drone operators looking to expand their capabilities.

Drone Pilot Hangar on YouTube: To further engage with the community, we host the Drone Pilot Hangar on YouTube, a series that features industry thought leaders sharing insights and best practices. Our 2025 lineup is set to include new topics, discussions, and expert interviews that will benefit both experienced drone pilots and newcomers to the field.
