Focused on the energy sector, SkySkopes “flies a wide variety of unmanned aircraft for transmission/distribution line inspections, engineering, oil and gas applications, and other innovative use cases that focus on adding value to the energy sector.” SkySkopes issued a press release recently to highlight their need for full time Remote Pilots in Command (RPIC). SkySkopes Inc., based out of Grand Forks, North Dakota with additional offices in Minot North Dakota, California, Minnesota, and Texas, is a case in point. While many drone pilots were hired on short-term contracts previously, now larger drone service providers are negotiating contracts with major enterprise customers and building teams of full-time operators, with benefits, to serve them. They need skilled pilots, capable of getting high quality and consistent aerial data, to do it. Now, large enterprise is working to scale operations and grow drone programs throughout the organization. Major industries like oil and gas have moved beyond the testing stage with drone technology. In the 3 years since Part 107 was implemented (the FAA issued a press release announcing the new rules on August 29, 2016) the emails and questions we’ve received have changed dramatically: from “How do I get a job and make a living as a drone pilot?” to “Where can I find more licensed drone pilots to hire?”
We’ve seen the painful process of Section 333 Exemptions shift to Part 107 Remote Pilot Certificates, and we’ve seen the number of licensed commercial pilots grow exponentially. DRONELIFE has been writing about commercial drones since 2014, and we’ve maintained JobForDrones, a professional pilot network, for almost as long.
