This course is designed to prepare students to operate a small-unmanned aircraft system (sUAS). Topics include but are not limited to the Code of Federal Regulations 14 part 107, airspace classifications, aeronautical chart reading, emergency procedures, conditions affecting flight, and aeronautical decision-making. This course requires a flight laboratory where students will operate a sUAS. The coursework also prepares students for the Federal Aviation Administration’s Unmanned Aircraft Systems Knowledge Test. Upon successful completion of the test, students may be eligible to seek their FAA Remote Pilot Certificate with a Small Unmanned Aircraft Systems Rating.
