On August 26th and 27th, ROTOR FX in cooperation with AOPA will present a new free drone seminar entitled “An Intro To 107” at its facilities in Los Angeles from 9:30am to 3pm.
Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs), better known as drones, are starting to revolutionize how companies are doing business. Drones are one of the fastest growing segments of aviation, with more than 43,000 remote pilot certificate applications submitted to date.
This AOPA presentation on sUAS is a great way to discover these aircraft for the first time and learn what it takes to become a FAA-certificated remote pilot. Certificated flight instructors (CFIs) and other experts with vast drone experience from ROTOR FX will cover topics ranging from regulations and airspace to weather and emergencies and other subjects you'll need to know for the FAA Remote Pilot Part 107.
The material will be presented in a fun, interactive way, and you will leave with valuable course materials that will be instrumental for reviewing what you have learned. By attending the seminar at ROTOR FX you'll meet expert instructors and gain a connection to the general aviation and commercial unmanned community. This can be an excellent resource for getting your questions answered and finding help on your journey toward your remote pilot certification and other pilot certificates and ratings.
RFX manager, Steve Dupont, said “this is the perfect entry point for anyone considering acquiring an FAA 107 license and those just entering the commercial drone world” He continued “in addition to providing everything you need to know about 107, we will have most of the major types of drones and equipment on display with breakout sessions on their application and use.”
The original August 26th date was completely booked within 24 hours of announcement so AOPA and ROTOR FX have agreed to extend the seminar dates to the following day, Sunday, August 27th, as well.

RFX manager, Steve Dupont, said “this was a definite indicator of the intense interest and phenomenal growth of the industry. We anticipate this will become a monthly event for the foreseeable future and we will continue to provide these types of educational or training events as long as there is demand.”
As an add on to the seminar ROTOR FX will also be displaying a wide range of drones and equipment with experts on hand to answer any questions. This will include some of the RFX family of specialized industrial, commercial and research drones with payload capacities as much as 350 lbs.
