What’s Stopping Drone Programs
From Working?
Too many companies try to DIY drone operations, and get stuck:
-
FAA rules are confusing and keep changing
-
Training is generic or online-only
-
No structure means flights can’t be defended in court
-
Equipment gets bought and forgotten
-
Internal pilots fly—but no one knows if it’s legal
