Training
Drones deployed for commercial purposes or law enforcement are incredible tools and not toys. There is a myriad of risks and liabilities to the organizations that DSI training specifically addresses to minimize the legal/financial exposure that extends far beyond the cost of the equipment and into the department.
FAA Part 107 Knowledge Training
The DSI 5-day FAA Part 107 live course is designed for drone pilots with zero experience or years of experience. All students will learn from both the FAA materials, as well as Practical Lessons designed to integrate the Part 107, Risk Management, Crew Resource Management, and State Law into both the knowledge-based materials, and flight instruction. A student’s typical day is 4-hours of knowledge training and 4-hours of flight training for 4 days. The fifth day consists of a flight skills final, and FAA Part 107 knowledge practice final.
UAV Flight Training
DSI Instructors are FAA licensed pilots with thousands of hours of fixed wing, rotary, and UAV experience which translates to unmatched excellence in transferring knowledge to new pilots.
Thermal Inspections
DSI performs qualitative or quantitative thermal inspections with Radiometric thermal cameras. By utilizing advanced, non-destructive sUAS thermal technologies, we often can reveal the scope and extent of a problem before it leads to additional losses. It can also be used as a baseline for a newly completed project. After completing the inspection, we will provide you with a comprehensive report indicating any thermal anomalies which require further investigation.

Advanced UAV Flight Courses
DSI provides a suite of advanced knowledge and flight training courses including Night Flying, Signal Interference and Recovery Techniques, DJI Matrice 200 Series, Search and Rescue, Introduction to UAS Thermography and more.

Annual UAV Pilot Recertification
