πŸ”₯ Leave it to a firefighter to introduce a fire hose into drone training… and somehow make it one of the best flight proficiency drills we’ve ever used.

This is exactly what makes the Drone Pilot Inc. 100 Hour UAV Academy different.

We don’t just teach people how to fly drones β€” we build professional operators through real-world, proficiency-based training. In this evolution, students are required to navigate precision figure-eight flight patterns inside the 10x20 training box using a fire hose layout to simulate confined-space maneuvering, obstacle management, orientation control, and muscle memory under pressure.

Every phase is designed to progressively challenge pilots and prepare them for real public safety, tactical, emergency response, and professional drone operations.

Since 2014, Drone Pilot Inc. has trained thousands of first responders and professional operators through one of the longest-running proficiency-based UAV training programs in the country.

Only a few civilian professional development positions are available for these academies. If you’re a civilian looking to become a professional drone pilot, it all starts here. Train alongside first responders and operate in complex real-world scenarios to gain valuable skills.

Precision remote piloting starts with a 10 x 20 BOX!

At Drone Pilot Inc.’s 100 Hour sUAS Operational Training & Certification Academy, everything begins with precision, control, orientation, discipline, and muscle memory development inside the famous 10x20 training box.

Before advanced FPV operations…Before confined space flight…Before tactical overwatch and live-action scenarios…

Pilots must first prove they can fly with precision under pressure.

The 10x20 box is where new pilots learn smooth aircraft control, orientation management, crew communication, and the foundational skills that carry into real-world public safety and professional drone operations.

This aerial footage shows multiple Phase 1 training lanes running simultaneously as students begin building the foundation required to progress through the DPI crawl-walk-run training methodology.
