Field-proven UAS leadership across the entire operating environment.

Christopher Kabat leads UAS operations across the full field environment, from pre-deployment planning and site coordination through flight execution, troubleshooting, documentation, handoff, and closeout.

His experience includes sustained enterprise deployments, multi-site operations, government and industrial projects, autonomous and field-deployed aircraft systems, and travel-intensive assignments where operational continuity depended on more than pilot coverage alone.

Christopher works at the intersection of field execution, safety, technology, and program accountability. He is comfortable coordinating with clients, site personnel, technical partners, pilots, and program stakeholders while maintaining clear ownership of readiness, risk, reporting, and follow-up.

His approach is practical: establish the operating picture, make sound decisions under changing conditions, communicate clearly, and leave the program stronger than it was before the deployment began.

Christopher’s field experience spans enterprise automotive logistics, utility-scale photovoltaic and concentrated solar power facilities, communications infrastructure, industrial reality capture, construction environments, government facilities, and large-site documentation projects.

He has supported compressed pilots, sustained daily operations, recurring field assignments, and extended deployments where weather, access, aircraft readiness, site activity, connectivity, and changing client priorities all influenced the operating plan.

His work has involved both small commercial aircraft and larger uncrewed systems, including automated flight platforms, dock-supported operations, photogrammetry missions, thermal and RGB inspection collection, and complex site documentation.

Across these environments, the common requirement has been the same: arrive prepared, understand the site, adapt without losing control of the mission, and produce a usable operational result.

Christopher treats safety and documentation as active parts of the operation, not administrative tasks added after the flight.

His work includes preflight risk assessment, site and aircraft readiness review, weather and airspace evaluation, AM and PM operational checks, post-flight reporting, incident documentation, follow-up tracking, mission handoff, and formal closeout.

He has developed and refined FRATs, SOPs, CONOPS, readiness workflows, incident-reporting tools, operational checklists, and closeout systems based on the realities of active field deployments.

The objective is not paperwork for its own sake. It is a clearer operating picture, better decisions, stronger accountability, and continuity across pilots, shifts, sites, and program stakeholders.

Christopher has trained and supported commercial drone pilots, new operators, program managers, and operational stakeholders through structured instruction, field coaching, professional-development resources, and practical operating guidance.

His training approach connects regulatory knowledge with field judgment. It emphasizes airspace, weather, mission planning, risk review, aircraft readiness, communication, documentation, and the practical decisions that separate legal flight from reliable professional operation.

Through 107ProPilot and direct instruction, he has developed resources intended to help pilots build stronger habits, clearer operating discipline, and greater confidence in complex commercial environments.

He also supports team-level learning by translating field lessons into repeatable workflows, checklists, documentation standards, and program improvements.

Christopher does not separate field execution from system improvement.

When an operation exposes a gap in readiness, reporting, handoff, training, or accountability, he looks for a repeatable way to close it. That has led to the development of operational workflows, documentation systems, training resources, and software concepts designed around real deployment conditions.

ProAerial Media, Turris, and 107ProPilot reflect that broader approach. Each began with a practical field need and evolved into a way to make UAS operations safer, clearer, more repeatable, or easier to support.

The result is a leadership style grounded in execution but oriented toward long-term program maturity.
