Aviation Without Shortcuts — Safer Skies Through Education
B. Travis Wright serves as a DronePro Representative with the FAA Safety Team (FAASTeam), supporting the FAA’s mission to strengthen safety culture across the aviation community—particularly within small unmanned aircraft operations conducted under 14 CFR Part 107.
According to the FAA, “DronePros are FAA Safety Team (FAASTeam) volunteers who work closely with the FAA to promote safety in their local area. These volunteers are interviewed and trained by the FAA and are provided with equipment and materials to help them plan events and give presentations. A DronePro may be able to come talk to your students or set up a flight demonstration. The FAASTeam has a roster of DronePros in most states.”
The FAASTeam’s mission is to reduce the nation’s aviation accident rate by conveying safety principles and best practices through training, outreach, and education, while building partnerships that reinforce a positive, self-sustaining safety culture throughout aviation.
As a DronePro, this role reflects a higher-than-average level of operational knowledge in UAS operations and a commitment to serving as a practical resource for pilots navigating regulatory, technical, and risk-management questions. DronePros help pilots resolve real-world operational issues, promote FAA safety programs, and increase awareness of tools such as FAASafety.gov and the FAA Drone Zone—ensuring compliance is approached as a professional standard rather than a reactive burden.
DronePros also participate in FAA-facilitated quarterly webinars reserved specifically for DronePro representatives, where emerging regulatory developments, enforcement trends, integration challenges, and safety initiatives are discussed in detail. Ongoing participation in these briefings reinforces current knowledge, strengthens coordination across regions, and ensures that outreach messaging reflects the FAA’s most up-to-date safety priorities.
“I am the first to admit that the FAA could improve our public outreach, visibility, and knowledge sharing related to UAS operations. However, the ultimate goal of regulation is that industry protect itself from the negative consequences of liable operation. You obviously understand this and are acting as a great ambassador to your community.”

B. Travis Wright, MPS – CO/WY FAA Safety Team DronePro
This fast-moving presentation delivers a clear-eyed examination of the risks and responsibilities that accompany drone operations—making explicit that compliance is not optional, regardless of purpose, platform, or profession. Whether flying recreationally, commercially, or in support of public-facing work, remote pilots are accountable for unsafe or unauthorized operations under federal aviation regulations.
Every drone flight leaves a footprint—through imagery, telemetry, flight logs, or other traceable data—allowing operations to be evaluated long after the aircraft has landed. As enforcement tools mature and public scrutiny increases, the margin for informal or assumption-based flying continues to narrow. This session focuses on how to operate in a way that protects people and airspace while also preserving the credibility of the work, the client, and the community beneath the flight path.
The presentation runs under an hour. Most drone operators never receive this level of operational context—and that gap shows when things go wrong. For realtors, content creators, and small business owners, it’s an opportunity to avoid preventable mistakes that can jeopardize compliance, contracts, and reputation before those risks ever materialize.
