As someone who had no idea exactly what to expect with (or how to properly be prepared for) the Part 107 test, I am so incredibly thankful that I stumbled upon this course. I feel so much better now that I've got a better overall understanding and have been able to devise a step by step plan, thanks to this course.

Angelia L.

The course was full of a lot of information that a new person like myself was not even aware of. Like he said, You don't know, what you don't know. Now that I have watched this course I have a better idea of the things that I need to do whether it is for personal or professional use.

Greg Reverdiau

Drone and Airplane Pilot, Flight Instructor

Hi, I'm Greg or Professor R as my students call me.

I have been an aviation professional since the early 2000s. I currently hold the following FAA certificates: Certified Flight Instructor, Commercial Pilot (for single and multi engine), and UAS Remote Pilot. I have worked for two of the biggest aeronautical universities in the country (managing flight training programs of up to 500 students and 50 aircraft) and in teaching roles as an adjunct professor. I now concentrate on educating the next generation of manned and unmanned pilots by creating online courses.

I truly enjoy teaching both in the classroom and online as well as sharing my knowledge using newer technology. I intend to help bridge the gap between the manned and unmanned aircraft industry to increase safety.

I hold a Bachelor's degree in Aeronautical Science and a Masters Degree in Aviation Human Factors, both from the Florida Institute of Technology in Melbourne, FL.

When I am not teaching, you can find me running in the beautiful mountains surrounding Prescott, AZ.
