Drones
Hi I live in Georgia and I am in the aviation industry. Trying to become an airline pilot almost done with my private pilot license. I’ve been thinking about trying to do drones as a job in the mean time, a possible side gig in the future, or something I can pivot to if piloting airplanes doesn’t work out. I have a few questions.
How similar is the drone faa written knowledge test from a private pilot test?
Would I need to buy a drone and equipment or can a company hire me and offer that stuff?
Will company train me or will I have to do my own train for ex photographing, mapping, land surveying?
Preferable I would like to get hired at a company full time that can offer me training and a drone. What are some good companies that do that? Now if that’s not an option I don’t mind purchasing whatever I need to work.
If I can’t get hired quickly what are things I can do to better my chances and things I can do to make me prepared?
