Survey Technician, Justin Geddis, Passes Survey Drone Exam

November 25, 2025 | 0 Comments | , , , , , , ,

We’re excited to share that one of our Survey Technicians, Justin Geddis, has passed his FAA Part 107 Drone Pilot Exam with an outstanding 92%!

The Part 107 exam is no small feat—it covers critical topics such as FAA regulations, airspace classifications, weather patterns, and safe flight procedures for small, unmanned aircraft systems (UAS). Earning this certification is a key requirement for commercial drone operation and reflects a strong understanding of safe and responsible flight practices.

Justin’s achievement positions him to play an even greater role in our survey drone program, enhancing our ability to capture accurate, efficient, and high-quality data from the field.

Congratulations, Justin!

This past Friday, at our Bedford office, TFMoran employees celebrated being named one of Business NH Magazine’s 2025 “Best Companies to Work For” with a festive Halloween TGIF bash!

Employees enjoyed the beautiful fall afternoon outdoors with rounds of Mini Golf courtesy of Mini Golf On The Go.

We topped the afternoon off with two perfectly themed ice cream flavors from Inside Scoop: Pumpkin Oreo and Vanilla with M&Ms. It was the sweetest way to wrap up a perfect autumn day — no tricks, just treats!

Costumes were encouraged, and employees voted for their favorites in three categories: Funniest, Most Classic/Scariest, and Most Creative. Congratulations to our winners:

Funniest: Robin Carter, Accounting Assistant – Alien Abduction
Most Classic/ Scariest: Sophie Haddock, Assistant Land Planner/Landscape Designer – Pirate
