Meet Wesley Alexander

Senior Test Pilot, Aviation Expert, and Your Trusted Guide Through the Complex World of Commercial Drone Operations

Aviation Excellence Since 1999

With over 25 years of aviation experience, I've dedicated my career to advancing the field of flight safety, innovation, and regulatory compliance. From traditional aircraft to cutting-edge eVTOL technology, I've been at the forefront of aviation evolution.

My journey began in traditional aviation as a Certified Flight Instructor (CFI) with Instrument and Multi-Engine ratings, where I discovered my passion for both teaching and pushing the boundaries of what's possible in aviation. This foundation led me to become a Senior Test Pilot, where I've had the privilege of being among the first to evaluate new aircraft technologies and safety systems.

MightyFly Experience

At MightyFly, I played a crucial role in developing training curricula for eVTOL aircraft operations. This experience gave me deep insights into the future of aviation and the regulatory frameworks needed to support emerging technologies safely and effectively.

Today, I specialize in helping organizations navigate the complex landscape of commercial drone operations. Whether you're seeking BVLOS exemptions in California, need guidance on Part 107 compliance, or want to build a comprehensive commercial drone program from the ground up, I provide the expertise and real-world experience you need.

What sets me apart is not just my extensive flight experience, but my deep understanding of both the technical and regulatory aspects of aviation. I don't just know the rules – I understand why they exist and how to work within them to achieve your operational goals safely and legally.
