What Our Students are Saying About Us

David exceeded my expectations as an instructor for my Part 107 test prep. His thoroughness in covering the material left no stone unturned. Not only did he provide comprehensive explanations, but he also tailored his approach to accommodate my learning style, making the process both efficient and enjoyable. David’s dedication to his students’ success is evident, and I wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone seeking top-notch instruction for the Part 107 test.

Jeff Bennett

David is an exemplary instructor! David delivered his knowledge to a class of novices in a clear and concise manner and his patient demeanor kept the attention of the entire class. The hands on flight was awesome with the use of 3rd Rock’s professional drones (3rd Rock provided each candidate with a take home, practice drone). If you are looking to become a commercial drone pilot and require the knowledge to fly and pass the FAA exam, look no further, David’s training is the only training that you will want to be involved in.

Jon Wolfersberger

I highly recommend the training at 3rd rock. As a beginner I found the class more enlightening than I expected. The amount of knowledge that David shared was priceless. At the end of class I didn’t even have any questions, they had all been answered. I’m definitely coming back for the photography class.

Bob Mast

David Cranmer is a fantastically knowledgable instructor who makes the curriculum quite fun. This course does a great job of blending textbook information with hands-on flight training, rounding it out for a very practical and fun learning experience; makes the information easy to retain. I highly recommend this course for anyone looking to obtain their Drone Pilot’s sUAS certification.
