Course Summary

The Federal Aviation Administration’s (FAA) Aeronautical Knowledge Test for the Remote Pilot Airman Certificate is required to fly an unmanned aerial vehicle commercially (including public service).  This is particularly important for mutual aid use beyond jurisdictional boundaries. This online course contains all the material tested for the 107 pilot’s license.  The course is self-paced but follows a progression of information with due dates to aid in completing the material in a timely manner.  Online instructors engage students to answer questions and help with test preparation.  Former students have identified common test questions and themes, and will be shared to increase focused study and student success rates.

Professional course option includes:

  • In-class review with FAA Certificated Flight Instructor
  • Students will learn, then demonstrate knowledge of the FAA Part 107 requirements
  • Students will receive test scheduling assistance

The Regional Training Center (The RTC) is not affiliated with the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). The FAA Remote Pilot Airman Certificate is achieved by passing the FAA Aeronautical Knowledge Test. PSI Examination Services now controls all FAA Part 107 testing. The RTC staff will facilitate and assist students in scheduling their FAA examination using an RTC-issued coupon code.
