About the Author: Rains Ren

Hi! Thanks for reading my article related to the cutting-edge technology saga related to drone tech. I began pursuing a professional career in this industry in my thirties in 2022. Since then I launched Flightpath107 to provide the most relevant and well-organized curriculum to pass the FAA Part 107 exam. In the process of pursuing this I began to realize all the good this technology can do. Flightpath107 is dedicated to helping more people become FAA certified drone pilots, so thereafter they can use this technology in endless ways to help the planet, grow in their career, improve their industry, pursue entrepreneurial ideas, and the list goes on. <3
