This Week in Aviation (Feb 22-26)

Dear Parents and students,

Flying a drone seems simple.  But have you considered all the guidelines?  What is allowed and where can you fly?  Drones are incredibly sophisticated now and are used in almost every area of aviation from commercial to military.  We will explore drone technology and the safety guidelines that regulate their use this week!
