Certificated Pilots. Commercial Drone Operators.
DroneBento was founded in 2015 as a collaboration of certificated pilots, attorneys, and drone hobbyists. First and foremost, we are FAA certificated pilots, flying real airplanes inside the National Airspace System. When not flying manned aircraft, we have families, friends, and drones. We provide regulatory insight, unmanned flight operation services, and education. Our target market includes consulting with businesses about the use of drones, working with clients to provide cinematography services for real-estate, and offer remote sensing for agriculture.
Safety is paramount. The struggle with unmanned flight operations the FAA and NTSB are facing is a balance between freedom to use this exciting technology and the means to do so safely. DroneBento is on the leading edge of safe and effective operations that serve as a model for the FAA & NTSB.
To commercially operate a unmanned aerial system (drone) FAA regulations (Part 107) require a Remote Operator's Certificate. Remote Operator Certificates are available as an endorsement for existing pilots or an attainable rating for non-pilots. Our team consists of current FAA Certificated airplane pilots with Remote Operator certifications, some of which are airplane owners, and fly regularly. Beyond that, we have the legal counsel, the project management experience, and the technology to provide dynamic and cutting edge services to our clients.
