The FAA projects commercial drone operations will generate 170,000 jobs by 2030. Real estate, construction, agriculture, and emergency services are all hiring — but they need pilots with the ticket. That's the Part 107. That's what we teach.

Six core modules. 30 hours of structured instruction. Every topic the FAA will test you on — rendered clear, interactive, and applied to real commercial scenarios. Tap any card to flip it.
Class A through G, TFRs, MOAs, and restricted zones — decoded.
Learn to read a sectional chart, identify airspace boundaries, and request waivers. You'll know exactly where you can fly before you ever leave the ground.
Density altitude, wind shear, and why clouds matter at 400 AGL.
Interpret METARs, TAFs, and winds-aloft forecasts. Understand how temperature inversions and fog affect drone performance — and when to scrub the flight.
Payload, battery math, and how weight changes your flight envelope.
Calculate weight and balance for commercial payloads. Understand how altitude, temperature, and humidity affect your drone's ceiling and endurance.
14 CFR Part 107 — every rule that governs commercial UAS operations.
Remote ID, registration, waiver categories, and LAANC authorization. Know exactly what paperwork is required before you charge a client a single dollar.
Talking to ATC: when you must, what to say, and how to listen.
Practice phonetic alphabet, position reports, and how to request clearances near Class D airports. Most pilots never call ATC — you'll know how.
Lost link, flyaway scenarios, and crew resource management.
Build pre-flight checklists, define abort criteria, and practice lost-link protocols. The FAA tests this — so do we, with real scenarios.
All modules include practice exam questions pulled from the FAA's actual question bank. Students average a score improvement of 31 points from first to final practice test.
These aren't polished case studies. They're mid-course check-ins from students who were exactly where you are six weeks ago.
