Mission Overview | Time 0800-1200PM (Dependent on Weather)

Stop "guessing" and start commanding. Whether you just unboxed your first drone or you’re looking to transition into a professional career, Foundations of Flight is designed to take you from zero to confident in a single session.

Led by a military-trained pilot with a decade of flight experience, this course bypasses the "hobbyist" mistakes and focuses on the tactical skills used by the pros. We don't just teach you which buttons to push; we teach you how to read the sky, manage your aircraft, and stay compliant with San Antonio’s unique airspace regulations.

What You Will Master:

  • The Pre-Flight Briefing: Professional checklists for hardware, battery safety, and weather assessment.

  • Airspace Intelligence: How to use LAANC to fly legally near San Antonio’s military bases (Lackland, Randolph, and Kelly Field).

  • Precision Maneuvers: Hands-on "Sticks-in-Hand" training covering takeoffs, landings, hovering, and emergency RTH (Return to Home) procedures.

  • The "Safety First" Mindset: Understanding FAA Part 107 basics and how to avoid the most common causes of drone crashes.

  • Camera Essentials: Framing your first cinematic shots and understanding basic sensor settings.

What’s Included in Your Slot:

  • 4 Hours of Expert Instruction: Small group environment for personalized coaching.

  • Training Aircraft Provided: Don't have a drone yet? Use one of our professional-grade DJI units. (If you have your own, bring it! We’ll help you calibrate it.)

  • Patriot Flight Manual: A digital take-home guide featuring our proprietary pre-flight checklists.

  • Certification of Completion: Signed by our founders to jumpstart your pilot logbook.

Who Is This For?

  • New Pilots: Anyone who wants to fly safely and avoid expensive "rookie" crashes.

  • Aspiring Pros: The perfect first step before taking our FAA Part 107 Boot Camp.

  • Veterans & First Responders: High-speed training for those who appreciate a disciplined, mission-oriented learning style.

Training Locations

  • Training locations are carefully selected to provide a safe, effective, and compliant learning environment. Exact locations will vary based on weather conditions, airspace restrictions, and operational considerations on the day of training.

  • All sessions are conducted within a 30-minute radius of the location in areas that allow for optimal flight conditions, minimal obstacles, and legal airspace access.

  • Final location details, parking instructions, and setup guidance will be provided 48-24 hours prior to your scheduled training via text message, phone call and email.
