Advanced drone training in session 🚁 Our cadets leveled up their flight skills and pushed their control to the next level. We can’t wait to see them continue to reach new heights! #juniorflightacademy #dronetraining #ourfutureleaders

Pre-flight checks ✔️ Indoor flights ✔️ Our Junior Flight Academy cadets officially took control of the drones today and next class, we’re taking it outside. 🚁🔥 #JuniorFlightAcademy #DroneTraining #STEMEducation #FuturePilots

18 of our Junior Flight Training Academy students successfully earned their TRUST certification and now 10 of our highest performing students will now begin FAA Part 107 Drone License training. In just a few months they will be FAA certified, licensed drone pilots. 🔥 🚁

Following the holiday break, we’ll complete our final TRUST examinations and begin working toward FAA Part 107 drone licenses. 🚁 #JacobsLadder #JuniorFlightTrainingAcademy #STEMEducation #FinancialLiteracy #CareerReadiness

Our Junior Flight Training Academy cadets mastered the fundamentals of Visual Line of Sight (VLOS), Community-Based Organizations (CBOs), & more! To close, they discussed making smart, informed money decisions early and how current events can shape future opportunities. 💡

Many thanks to @Brad7News for highlighting our work in his story on declining crime numbers in Prince George’s County and for allowing one of our young men to be part of it.
