Hawaii Drone Academy

I took an advanced drone course and liked it a lot! This guys give you enough theoretical knowledge but don’t go too technical. Practical part was nice and fun, it would defiantly make you feel much safer to operate the drone on your own! Will be defiantly back for aerial photography class

Sal and his Drone Academy is exactly what Hawaii needs. Someone with great intelligence and the energy to help others.
I attempted to apply on my own for the FAA’s Section 333 Exemption. I did some serious online research and read how other people had resorted to going to a lawyer and paying upwards of 6K+ to get it done. The Drone Accademy offered a class to help me to understand all of the many, many intricate details and requirements.
Originally, Sal told us that a pilot from the Big Island who already had the Exemption would be coming over to teach the class. Unfortunely this person got cold feet and must have realized that teaching others to do this difficult task, was not in their own interests. Sal conducted the class with absolute perfection. Every person in the class «got it». His class was informative, accurate and left us all eager to go home and complete our own Exception 333 requests.
Sal is a pro and extremely knowedgable and willing to share and help others.
I would highly recommend that you meet with him if you are interested in learning more about flying drones and doing it safely
Larry S. are real or is your real name Tim? Larry please call me since all you said in your post might well be true but I find it hard to understand why you have taken this position when all the Hawaii Drone Academy is doing is trying to help people. With zero deception on Sals part.
If you know where I can find the FAA approved curriculum, please let me know. I want to understand your point of view and find out why you would warn people about what Sal is doing? I believe if you met with him, you would change you mind.
