Feedback from a Women And Drones member about Desi’s “Elevate Your Flight Skills Workshop”
Desi Ekstein’s “Elevate Yourself” training primed me to understand the “now what, how to and next steps” as a FAA certified remote pilot. Desi and special guest speakers provided opportunities for active mission planning and safety, telemetry, data delivery, fight maneuvers, as well as business planning and financial strategies for my drone business. They were open minded about our feedback and needs, and continued to tailor this experience throughout the training. As a newbie to the industry, I am excited to add these tools to my toolbox that I can apply after today’s course, and that are critical to our success as drone pilots. Those who are ready for the next level would benefit from taking this course. I am uplifted, more confident and my skills have been elevated! Thank you.
