Terry couldn’t have been any better. He was excellent. Took his time with me, showed me everything I asked for. I would recommend Terry to anyone that wanted a clear understanding of drone flying. What a great day.

Leo Garcia is a true professional. Not only was his instruction very informative he also made the training fun. He’s an extremely knowledgeable and personable instructor. I would highly recommend him to any friends who are interested in drone training.

Yes, I feel this course was an excellent introduction to drones and helped give me exactly the type of hands-on 1st time I was looking for. Andy was incredibly informative and his excitement with the industry is contagious.

Frequently Asked
Questions
Can I book a group of 4 or more?
Yes — we’re happy to chat with your group about training options. Email training@uavcoach.com or call us at (888) 626-9052
What kind of drone will I get to fly?
Our coaches train with DJI equipment — you’ll be flying either a DJI Mavic, DJI Phantom, or DJI Inspire model. If you have questions about the best professional drone models, we’re happy to help.
Can I bring my own drone?
Yes — many of our students prefer to fly with their own equipment. We’ll ask you to make sure that your firmware is up-to-date, to fully charge your transmitter, phone/tablet and to bring extra batteries. We’ll also ask that you’ve registered your drone through the FAADroneZone portal.
Do I need to be FAA Part 107 certified?
No — our instructors are certified and insured under our company policy, so you don’t have to be. If you’re interested in becoming a certified drone pilot, check out our FAA certification guide. We’d love to help you study!
What about inclement weather?
We won’t make you fly in the rain! We’ll work with you and your local flight instructor to reschedule.
Is this a test prep class for the FAA Part 107 drone exam?
No — this is a hands-on drone flight class. If you want to get FAA-certified, check out our industry-leading Part 107 online test prep and training course.
Can I bring a friend, colleague, or family member with me?
Yes! A shared experience with a friend or family member is a great way to learn together and have fun. Our instructors will tailor the experience for your group. You can purchase a group session of 2 people for $395 for 2.5 hours (save $97 per person!) or a group session of 3 people for $495 for 3 hours (save $130 per person!)
Are you insured?
Yes — we hold an insurance policy that covers up to $1 million in liability during the course of your training class. If you bring your own drone to the training, while we would not insure any damage to the drone itself, our liability policy still covers you.
Is this training class right for me?
Our students come from a wide variety of backgrounds and industries. If you’re looking to go deep into the DJI Go 4 or DJI Fly app, explore intelligent flight modes and fail-safe settings and to really understand what to do before, during, and after your flight to not only fly safely but to comply with the regulations, then yes, we’d love to see you book time with us.

Does your team need hands-on drone training?
We work with companies and organizations
An engineering team of four from Amgen needed to survey vertical structures. We set up a custom drone training with one of our Los Angeles instructors.
Southeastern Building Corporation wanted to use drones to capture aerial images of their residential and commercial construction projects. Our Nashville drone instructor trained two of their employees.
The Rutherford County GIS Department needed to survey land and infrastructure for things like development projects and flood zones. Our Nashville instructor trained three of their team members.
Fort Valley State University wanted to train 10 graduate students in their Engineering Technology Department to conduct research projects with their DJI Phantom. We built a half-day custom training with two instructors and two drones.

My husband, son, and I took a private drone lesson with Terry and he was fantastic. Terry met us all at our own levels, as our son is much more technologically inclined than my husband and I. We have been flying our drone for a couple of months and right away found value in Mr. Clunk’s class-we were breaking a lot of laws! We plan to take further classes with Mr. Clunk.
Kristin H
It was worth it. I learned more than from the YouTube videos I watched. I felt more confident and comfortable operating the drone after knowing I’m doing it right.
David M
My UAV Coach, Leo G was fantastic! This was my first experience with a drone and he taught me the ground, flight and drone basics. I knew nothing about flying drones, the airspace or the DJI app going in and now I’m comfortable going out on my own and practicing what he taught. Leo was very personable, knowledgeable and clearly a fun person to hang out with! I enjoyed our session together.

Flying Your Drone In Florida
Before your training class, it might be helpful to familiarize yourself with the drone laws in Florida.
If you are flying a drone for fun, you are considered a ‘recreational’ pilot and should be following the Recreational Flyers & Modeler Community-Based Organizations rules.
You’ll need to complete The Recreational UAS Safety Test (TRUST), register your drone, and understand where you can and cannot fly.
If you are flying a drone for ‘commercial’ purposes, you’ll need to get your FAA drone pilot certificate. This takes about 15-20 hours of studying and requires you to pass a 60-question multiple-choice exam. Here’s more information about how to get your drone pilot license.
And for fun, here’s a list of the best places to fly your drone in Jacksonville, Miami, Orlando, and Tampa. Blue skies and safe flying out there!
