Dear drone community:

Eric Pensenstadler here, Founder of CRPAA.

It’s been 2 years since we first got our nonprofit status and established ourselves as the first and only national non-profit exclusively for Certified Remote Pilots, and we’ve been able to help hundreds of members position themselves as professionals in the drone industry and grow their businesses.

Your feedback and the feedback from others in the industry, collected via surveys and our website portal, has given CRPAA valuable information to know that as the industry grows, we too must adapt to better serve the public.

That is exactly what we are doing at this time. As such, we are currently performing a fundamental internal review to evaluate what is in the best interest of our members and what value we can continue to provide to our members with the resources available to the organization at this time.

Thank you for your interest in the Certified Remote Pilots Association of America.

You will have to be vetted by Homeland Security and will be traveling with the Coast Guard and Border Patrol running live video feed back to the network. The network will be providing 2 days of lodging around the shoot days and the live feed equipment, you just have to connect to their gear via HDMI. I will reimburse for gas and have a daily stipend we can discuss for the shoots. Please send me an email @ [email protected] if you are available. I need to book someone asap who is super reliable.
