​
The Founder:
I’m Philip, the founder of Ready Drone Services. I’m a Coast Guard veteran and former law enforcement deputy with a degree in emergency and disaster management. I started this business to combine my love for the outdoors with my passion for helping people. Whether it’s locating missing persons/pets, supporting wildfire detection and fire crews, or capturing aerial footage, I bring years of real-world experience to every mission.
​
When I’m not flying drones, you’ll usually find me, fishing, hunting, or exploring Idaho’s backcountry. If you have a need that you do not see on our website please contact us to see if we can accommodate. We are constantly evolving our services and squadron of drones.
FAA Certified and Insured
Our FAA Part 107 certified and fully insured pilots are skilled professionals who combine technical expertise with an artistic eye, so every flight delivers stunning results.
​
Wait, what is Part 107? Part 107 refers to the FAA certification required for commercial drone pilots in the United States. This certification ensures that pilots understand airspace rules, safety regulations, and legal requirements for flying drones professionally.
​
It’s illegal to hire drone operators who are not Part 107 certified. Not only can uncertified pilots face fines, but those who hire them can also be penalized. Simply put, if a drone pilot is getting paid for their work, they must be Part 107 certified.
​
Hiring certified professionals like us means you’re staying safe, legal, and insured.
