Fly drones to scout, map, and spray crops
Agricultural drone pilots operate unmanned aircraft to scout fields, collect multispectral data, create prescription maps, and apply pesticides or fertilizers with precision — combining aviation skills with agronomy.
You arrive at a farm at dawn, map field boundaries with a Mavic, process NDVI data over coffee, mix spray product, fly variable-rate missions with a T50, document coverage, and brief the farmer on results before heading to the next client.
