About the program

Study regulations, airspace, weather, aircraft loading and performance, communication and operational risk with an instructor over three live Zoom meetings. This noncredit ground course prepares adults for the knowledge test, without a hands-on flight lab.

Preparation for the FAA Part 107 remote pilot knowledge test. Course completion is not an FAA certificate; successful testing and the separate FAA application are required.
