This course will introduce students to basic aircraft and UAS structures and their major components, principles of flight, and the fundamental physical laws affecting flight. Students will learn about basic aerodynamics and forces that act on aircraft in flight.  This course will also introduce the main systems found on large and small airplanes and UAS. 

Course Fee $10

This course is an introduction to the fundamental concepts of unmanned aircraft systems. Topics include: small unmanned aircraft systems regulations, airspace classification and operating requirements, flight restrictions affecting small unmanned aircraft operation, safety protocols, weight and balance, operating environments, aviation weather sources and effects of weather (micro-meteorology) on small unmanned aircraft performance, small unmanned aircraft loading and performance, emergency procedures, and crew resource management. Students will be prepared to complete the Federal Aviation Administration’s Part 107 Remote Pilot written exam upon completion of this course. 

Course Fee $10

This course will include topics such as: pilot and aircraft qualifications, principles of flight, aerodynamics, spin awareness, flight maneuvers, pre- and post-flight procedures, airport operations, regulations, safety, weather, aircraft systems, weight and balance, human factors, cockpit management, emergency procedures, night operations, aeronautical decision-making, cross-country flight planning, airspace, and other topics that help prepare students for the Federal Aviation Administration's Private Pilot written exam.
