sUAS Boot Camp

Small Unmanned Aircraft Systems (sUAS) or Drones, as we know it, have become a fascinating technology that has captured the imagination of many. The fact that drones can be remotely controlled, its benefits unto both civilian and commercial sectors continues to evolve at a rapid rate. In order to fly your drone under the FAA’s Small UAS Rule (Part 107), one must obtain a Remote Pilot Certificate from the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). If you’re planning to use a drone for commercial purposes, taking the Part 107 Knowledge Test is a must. Becoming certified for commercial drone operations will aid in your efforts to understand the rules, regulations and risk in legally flying your drone.

The Drone Intelligence Agency’s sUAS Boot Camp is designed to help you understand the rules to fly under Part 107, along with preparing you to pass your FAA Part 107 Knowledge Test. In passing this exam, you will have demonstrated that you understand the regulations, operating requirements, and procedures for safely flying drones.
