Recommended Online Class: FAA Part 107 Drone License Test

Here’s why Mark Taylor, owner of Extreme Aerial Productions, recommends this online course:

 

“This is the best class I have ever taken and I’m a manned pilot. I taught together with the teacher, Greg Reverdiau at Embry Riddle on the UAS course. Take this incredible online training and then hit me back up to teach you how to fly your drone in person.
