About the operation
A licensed pilot, not just a drone guy
FlightPath Ag is owned and flown by Logan Grant— an FAA-licensed private pilot with a master's degree in uncrewed aircraft systems, based in Pell City. When you hire us, the person planning your airspace, mixing to your label, and flying your fields is the same person whose name is on the business.
Credentials
Why the license stack matters
Anyone can buy a drone. The difference shows up in weather calls, drift management, airspace judgment, and what happens when something doesn't go to plan.
FAA Private Pilot License
Real cockpit hours in real weather — airspace, aeronautical decision-making, and the safety culture of manned aviation. Most drone operators hold a 60-question online certificate. A private pilot license is a different education entirely.
M.S., Uncrewed & Autonomous Aircraft Systems
Graduate-level study of flight systems, sensors, autonomous navigation, and airspace integration — the exact engineering behind the aircraft we fly and the data we deliver.
Part 107 + Part 137 operations
Certified remote pilot, operating agricultural application under FAA Part 137 authority, with an Alabama commercial pesticide applicator license (aerial category) and $1M+ liability coverage.
Professional software developer
The mapping, prescription, and reporting pipeline is built and maintained in-house. Your data arrives clean, fast, and in whatever format your equipment reads — because the person flying the drone also writes the code.
