SORA (947, AMC1 Article 11)
U-space regulations:
- 664 (U-space)
  - AMC/GM
- 665 (amending 373 on ATM ANS)

GeoGebra Classic (an app in GeoGebra suite)
On the exam you may be asked to share your GeoGebra work, which requires a GeoGebra account (you may register with Google, FB, etc); registering before the exam may be a good idea

We are very thankful to the organizations who kindly present in our classes

2021: Lecture by Kaija Sterner from LFV
2022: Lecture by fromer FTL students Christoffer Massinger and Ola Andersson (now with Transportstyrelsen, UTM experts)

Some videos were recorded during earlier events/classes, therefore you may hear references to chat, times, Q&A, etc
Sorry if YouTube shows ads before the videos -- it's YouTube monetizing, not me. (AdBlockers on laptop and NewPipe on Android may help.)
