Clients Don't Hire By Specialty. They Hire By Problem.

Why working pilots buy the whole stack instead of a single course.

Most drone operators are one-trick. They shoot video, or they fly inspections, or they deliver maps. When a client asks for anything outside that lane, the job goes to somebody else.

But the developer who wants marketing footage of a site also wants an orthomosaic for the survey team. The property manager who needs a roof inspection also needs photos for the listing. Same client, same site, often the same day. One operator quotes the whole contract. The other quotes half of it and hopes for a referral back.

The Pro Pilot Bundle is the full production stack: aerial photo and video, mapping and geomatics, and industrial inspections, taught by working professionals. Add the business training to price and win the work, and the recency seminar that keeps you legal while you do it.

Purchased individually, these courses total $897.75. Bundled, they are $733.95.

Questions Working Pilots Ask

  • Do I need a drone pilot certificate before I start?

    Recommended, but not required. These courses teach commercial drone work, not certification. If you are not certified yet, start with the 110 Basic Online Bundle or the 310 Advanced Online Bundle, then come back to this one.

  • Is the monthly subscription included in the $733.95?

    The $733.95 is a one-time bundle price. Enrolling gives you access to 220 - Coastal Drone Pro Monthly Subscription, which is billed separately at $7.35 per month.

  • Do I have to take the courses in a particular order?

    No. Most pilots start with 201 to get the business side straight, then work through whichever specialty their next job calls for.

  • Do I need experience in mapping or inspections?

    No. 203 - Mapping and Geomatics and 204 - Aerial Inspections both start from fundamentals and assume no prior experience in those fields.

  • Does the recency seminar meet Transport Canada's requirement?

    Yes. 250 - Recency - RPAS Seminar meets the CARS 901.65 recency requirement for RPAS operations in Canada.
