Introduction

We are now in the drone age and hardly a week goes by without some announcement of new development in Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) technology. As with all technological advances there is a dire need for skilled personnel to fill the vacancies created by this expansion. With planning and the right training drone pilots and others can look forward to varied and rewarding careers within an exciting industry. As anyone who has taken the first step into the world of unmanned aviation knows, drones can be put to all kinds of uses. There’s the obvious task of aerial photography and cinematography, and there’s also modelling, mapping, thermal imagery, inspections etc.

Drone related careers

There's more to the drone age than just piloting drones. Drone related careers include those who designs, build, customize and maintain UAV of all shapes and sizes. Engineers might specialize in the airframes, working with fresh new materials that provide some extra strength and enhance aerodynamics, along with 3D printing. While we talk about engineers, it is worth it to also mention the crossover between manned and unmanned aviation. Drone engineers start their careers on Nano drones or small Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) and end up designing large UAVs. Aerospace engineers on the other hand begin by designing conventional manned aircraft and migrated into unmanned aircraft. There are also software engineers who develop the operating systems and apps on both the UAV itself and its controller and specialize in AI and FPV. Software developers are also needed to solve the problem of how to track drones and how to maintain separation between them and other aircraft types. There are also the manufacturers, wholesalers, and retailers who keep the aviation industry supplied with spares and hardware. There are companies who train pilots with the approval of the national aviation authority to fly remotely piloted aircraft to standard of competence. Also there are those who promote the industry by creating trade associations and networks providing marketing, mentoring and support. Companies like Drone Major Group, the world’s first global commercial organization for the drone industry.

Drone pilot salaries

As with any other industry, drone pilot salaries are commensurate with skills and experience and there is likely to be a wide variation in pay. Recently qualified pilots with fresh certificates that allow them to fly for example, a DJI Inspire for commercial purposes can expect starting salaries in the region of £35,000 and more GBP. On another hand, experienced ex-military UAV Operators operating medium and large size UAV might earn here times that amount. The high earners in this industry just like many other industries are those that are specialists with very rare skills and provide high flexibility and productivity. For drone pilots this might mean not only having the right technical skills but also willing to operate UAV whenever the light and the weather allows. That is likely to be very early in the morning to late in the evening in the summer months, and on weekends when weekday flying is cancelled due to adverse weather. Drone engineers who design, build, program and test new drones could earn much more than pilots. The salaries in the drone industry are just as hard to specify as the information technology (IT) industry specifically as there are a lot of variables attached to it. Aside from the candidate experience and skills there is the profitability and size of the company itself. A startup drone company might offer lower salaries with share options. If it becomes a success, then the risk will be worth it, better than a higher starting company with no share options.

Getting Started

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) regulates all aspects of civil aviation in the United States including transportation, safety, flight inspection standards, pilot certificate etc. Typically the average citizen never had a reason to interact directly with the FAA. However, with the sudden explosion of interest in drones for civilian use, it has created a huge challenge for the FAA who has put rules in place in order to fly a drone. Drone is the fastest growing segment in the entire transportation industry. When you buy a drone in the United States you are required by law to register it with the FAA. The registration process takes less than five minutes and only costs $5. Take note if your drone weighs less than 250g, it does not have to be registered except if you plan to use such a drone for commercial purposes such as real estate photos, aerial surveying, thermal imaging etc. In other words, when a drone is being
