Greg Reverdiau, co-founder of Pilot Institute, joins the Pilots of the Caribbean Podcast to deliver a masterclass on the state of the drone industry, regulation, and education. A veteran aviation professional, Greg shares the journey from his commercial pilot days to building a platform that has helped nearly half a million students earn their wings.
We dive deep into Pilot Institute’s successful training philosophy of training aviators who respect both manned and unmanned airspace , which has led to their industry-leading 99.99% Part 107 pass rate. Greg reveals the secret to this success: teaching the full topic based on the Airman Certification Standard (ACS), not just memorizing question banks.
Greg shares his candid view on Part 107 being a "license to be dangerous" without a practical flight test , and proposes a new system of Part 107 ratings for complex operations like BVLOS and large UAS. He also offers an impassioned, candid take on the potential DJI ban, arguing that the US market is not ready to meet the current demand. Finally, he offers crucial advice for Caribbean Drone Service Providers (DSPs), highlighting why mastering data analysis is the single most important skill for a commercial operator's success
