The know-how you need to become a pro drone pilot and market your skill.

Licensed and skilled drone pilots are in huge demand. Drone Piloting For Dummies teaches you how to make a career out of it. From real estate to construction to inspection to mapping to delivery, the need for drone photography and videography is everywhere. This book outlines the basics of selecting and operating a drone, shows you how to get licensed, and explains all the regulations you need to know. You'll also learn to read charts and capture high-quality photos and videos. Plus, this guide walks you through the process of turning this skill into a full-time career or profitable side hustle. Written by a licensed drone pilot and entrepreneur, Drone Piloting For Dummies helps you take off on your new adventure!

Flying a drone is both challenging and thrilling, but it also increasingly offers career possibilities. Maybe you’ve picked up this book because you’re just getting started with drone piloting as a hobby. Or maybe you have an established hobby, such as photography, but are thinking about doing more. You may even be a semi-professional drone pilot who wants to take things to the next level with a career or small business. Drones fulfill many important purposes these days, with more uses for them evolving all the time. And besides, drone piloting is just fun!

This book answers pretty much all your basic questions about drones, including how they work, how to figure out which drone is best for your needs, which rules of flying apply to you, and where and under what conditions you can legally fly. This book also helps to prepare you to move beyond hobbyist to professional drone pilot if that’s your goal.

In this book, I make no assumptions about your current knowledge of drone piloting, or even of how drones work. Maybe you’re thinking about buying your first drone, or you’ve just bought your first drone, or maybe you’ve been flying for years. My only assumption is that you want to understand drones and take your drone piloting to the next level, and this book can help you do just that. So, I wrote this book to help you fly higher … and faster … and to get your drone piloting goals off the ground quickly!

For me, the turn from hobbyist to professional work began with a simple conversation with a friend who is a building contractor. He said, “You know, it would be great to have some aerial footage of some of my building projects. I could really use those on my website and social media.” That conversation moved me in the direction of taking a hobby to a more professional level. Today, I shoot content for real estate agents, contractors, landscape designers, and a host of individuals who need aerial footage of personal property or events. I enjoy photography, so I stay in that realm with my drone.
