$750 per 2-hour private session
- At your home, a nearby field or your school anywhere in north DFW: Flower Mound, Lewisville, Highland Village, Argyle, Southlake, Grapevine, Coppell, Keller, Denton, Frisco, Plano and nearby cities.
- A real pre-flight routine: checklist, battery and propeller checks, and how to set up safely.
- Your airspace, checked together: we look up your exact spot on the FAA's map and, if it's controlled airspace, show your child how to get permission through LAANC.
- Hands-on stick time with coaching on takeoff, hovering, orientation, smooth turns and landing.
- The FAA's free TRUST test, walked through together so your child can fly legally.
- The full online course included ($69 value) so they keep practicing after the session.
Bring your child's drone. If you don't have one yet, say so in your request and we'll recommend one before the session. A parent or guardian stays for the session.
