Alpena Community College UAS Pilot Exam Prep (AVI135)

FAA regulations require all commercial UAS operators to pass an aeronautical knowledge certification exam. Unmanned Aerial Systems (Drone) Pilot Exam Prep is open to anyone interested in becoming a commercial UAS Pilot, regardless of industry application, and will prepare students to sit for the FAA Exam (offered at testing sites throughout the state). This course will cover National Airspace, maps, weather, operations and inspections, and professional and ethical behavior in the aviation industry. This is not a hands-on operations course, but will provide minimal instruction on operating systems.
