Welcome to UTV Drone Training Hub
Emerging technologies in unmanned aerial systems (UAS) have rapidly transformed modern video production, creating new opportunities for cinematic storytelling, live broadcasting, and technical fieldwork. As drones become industry-standard tools, students benefit from learning not only creative flight techniques but also the federal regulations that govern safe and legal operations. Because commercial drone use requires an FAA Remote Pilot Certificate, our program introduces learners to aviation fundamentals, airspace awareness, and responsible flight practices. By providing government-approved pathways and hands-on training, we prepare students for professional careers where aerial technology, media production, and safety compliance intersect.
TRUST Certification – Getting Students Started
All students will begin their drone journey with the FAA’s TRUST Certificate, the required safety test for all recreational flyers. It’s a quick, beginner-friendly introduction to airspace rules, safe operations, and responsible flying habits. Completing TRUST ensures every student starts with a solid foundation before touching a drone in class, building confidence and meeting federal safety standards from day one.
FAA Part 107 Test Prep
Students enrolled in our drone program receive structured preparation for the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Part 107 Remote Pilot Certificate, the license required for commercial drone operations in the United States. This course introduces learners to the essential knowledge areas needed to operate safely, responsibly, and professionally in the growing field of aerial media. Through guided instruction, hands-on practice, and real-world flight scenarios, students gain the foundation required to pursue FAA licensure and expand their future career opportunities in media, aviation, and emerging technology industries.
This preparation includes:
Understanding national airspace classifications and restrictions
Learning aviation weather and its effects on drone operations
Studying FAA regulations, safety procedures, and crew responsibilities
Identifying hazards, risk management strategies, and emergency protocols
Interpreting sectional charts, facility maps, and airspace tools
Building confidence through practice quizzes and scenario-based reviews
Age Requirement – A Perfect Fit for Our Students
To earn the FAA Part 107 Remote Pilot Certificate, students must be at least 16 years old — which aligns perfectly with the age range of our high school learners. This gives them the opportunity to step into a real, federally recognized license while still in school, setting them up with a competitive edge for careers in media, aviation, and emerging drone technologies.
