John Pavlik has over 25 years of experience teaching Photogrammetry, and is one of the best in simplifying complex matters. Mr. Pavlik will discuss the fundamentals and then slowly work into flight planning. After several problems have been solved and discussed, the class will delve into the practical application of aerial project planning. The class is geared towards exam takers at the national and state level, as well as practitioners. Upon completion you will leave with a comfort feeling when the next aerial project or problem presents itself.
