Drone pilots operate unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) to capture images, gather data, or perform various tasks. They are trained to navigate and control drones, ensuring safe and efficient flights. Drone pilots can work in various fields, including photography, agriculture, construction, and emergency services. To become a drone pilot, individuals often need to obtain a Remote Pilot Certificate from the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) in the United States. This certification requires passing a knowledge test that covers topics like airspace regulations, weather, and drone operation. Many pilots also use software for flight planning and data analysis.
