The Commercial Drone Pilots Course offers a comprehensive 32-hour program designed specifically for the commercial use of unmanned aircraft operation within 14 CFR Rule, Part 107. This course focuses on successfully passing the Part 107 exam, enhancing piloting skills, ensuring safe UAS deployment, and an introduction to UAS operations in the National Airspace.

This course was specifically developed to equip private-sector commercial UAS pilots with the knowledge and skills to conduct flight operations in National Airspace legally, safely, and effectively.  Training begins online with FAA Part 107 test preparation culminating with an in-class test review and test scheduling assistance.  Each student will receive a minimum of 8 hours of flight training and log at least 3 hours of flight time.

Students will:

  • Prepare for the FAA UAG 107 test
  • Explain UAS safety management strategies and safety culture
  • Demonstrate preflight and emergency safety procedures
  • Explain record-keeping and legal issues
  • Demonstrate UAV piloting skills in commercial UAS mission sets (including private security, real estate, utility companies, construction, and surveying)
  • Demonstrate UAV piloting skills under stress

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.
