Small Unmanned Aircraft Systems (SUAS), or “drones”, are finding their way into many industries in increasingly diverse ways. It is an incredibly exciting technology that is becoming more technically advanced, yet more cost effective, allowing it to be utilized by anyone from the hobbyist up to highest levels of government. Some popular uses of this technology include professional photography, land surveying, emergency services life-saving operations, as well as a variety of military and police activities. This has led the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) to create regulations regarding their operation. This course will guide you through the exciting career opportunities available as well as educate you in the safe and legal operation of a SUAS. This course is designed to educate the remote pilot in the pertinent regulations, flight operations, and safety precautions related to operating a SUAS, ultimately leading to the issuance of an FAR Part 107 Remote Pilot Airman Certificate.
