THEY’VE SAID ABOUT US

Bryan and Jim are great! Jim has a gift when it comes to teaching. The Part 107 Course was presented in a way that is easy to understand and had no problem breaking down a lesson when extra attention was needed. I could not have done it without V1 Aeronautics.

V1 aeronautics is your one stop shop for training and testing for your UAS pilot test. I just had an awesome experience with them. They offer an awesome course that prepares you in two days for the test. There are other places online that offer services but give V1 a shot. They will prepare you to take the test in two days and pass with flying colors.

Great course for the sUAS CERTIFICATION! Easy to walk through and from zero to confident in the course of a weekend!

S. Smith, Hagerstown, MD
If you’re going to take a course to prepare for your commercial sUAS testing, V1 Aeronautics is the place to do it. I originally did it through a website (which just provided glorified PowerPoint slides…no way of asking questions) which didn’t go so well. This was before we knew that Bryan offered classes. Wasn’t too confident when I went in for my initial exam. Took the class through Bryan and passed with a much higher score than I thought and was incredibly more confident taking the exam. The lesson here is to stay away from online “classes” and take your class with V1. Much better experience and was a ton more fun than staring at a computer screen for hours. Totally worth it!

The Remote Pilot Certification Course was very beneficial. The information from the 2-day course helped me pass the Aeronautical Knowledge Test and it provided me with real-world knowledge to fly a drone as a commercial operator. The training instruction was well-organized, making the information useful and easier to retain.

J. Hess, Falling Waters, WV
Awesome trainers! Bryan is very knowledgeable and experienced. Won’t find a company here like them.

Bryan and Jim provided a high quality educational experience for remote pilot certification. Their expert advice and training enabled me to pass the exam with flying colors. Thank you V1 Aeronautics.
