Many schools already use drones in STEM classes for engineering projects or mapping. This course adds the FAA side: the rules and airspace knowledge students need to fly legally and pass the Part 107 test once they’re 16.
Students who take the course will:
Learn the airspace rules and safety practices drone pilots use on the job
Be ready to take the FAA Part 107 test when they turn 16
Build a skill that’s useful in fields like surveying and inspection
Have Part 107 training to list on college and job applications
Students have to be 16 to take the Part 107 test, but they can learn the material well before then. With FAA Remote Pilot Test Prep in your classes, they’ll be ready to test as soon as they’re eligible.
Until then, students can still fly under the direct supervision of a certified Remote Pilot in Command (RPIC), usually a trained teacher. That lets them:
Take part in your school’s drone program
Fly for STEM projects and competitions
Practice planning flights and solving problems with drones
Any school flight that isn’t recreational, like filming a promotional video or mapping a campus, needs a certified Remote Pilot-In-Command (RPIC). Having a Part 107-certified teacher on staff means your school can fly for those projects, and the same teacher can supervise students when they fly.
The course also gives teachers what they need to teach FAA rules in class.
Group Training Includes:
Self-paced online Part 107 prep that fits around a teaching schedule
Educational pricing of $69 per seat, with one year of access
No email required
Schools and student robotics teams around the country have used this course to get students ready for the Part 107 test.
