Are you interested in becoming a commercial drone pilot? You must successfully complete the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Knowledge Exam to earn a Remote Pilot Certificate with a Small Unmanned Aircraft Systems (sUAS) rating. This class is the key to your success! It uses time-proven and dependable content to prepare you for your FAA Knowledge Exam. Each class includes the figures, legends, and full-color charts from the FAA Airman Knowledge Testing Supplement to familiarize you with the information you’ll be tested on. Classes promote an understanding of FAA regulations, the National Airspace System, weather, loading and performance, and operation. In addition, you will be given practice tests throughout the class. The sUAS class requires that all students register for the Remote Pilot License Exam at the end of the course. This $175.00 cost of this exam is not included in course registration. Rather, you will be expected to provide pay directly to the FAA testing center.
