Course Listing For Drone Pilot Part 107 Test Prep and Ground School Courses

This course has been designed to prepare learners to successfully pass the FAA’s Part 107 exams to become commercially licensed drone pilot. A certificate of completion will be awarded by Unmanned Safety Institute (USI) and Bellevue University. USI certificate of completion qualifies the learner for insurance discounts and should be presented to the FAA Knowledge Testing Center to take the Part 107 exam (additional costs apply).

This course is targeted towards learners that want a more comprehensive curriculum and wish to learn in a mix of classroom and online environments. There are 24 hours online and 26 hours in the classroom for this course. This 8 unit course (Foundations, Unmanned Aircraft, Elements, Regulations/Compliance, National Air Space, Human Factors, Aero Decision Making, and Professionalism) plus flight time, has also been designed to prepare learners to successfully pass the FAA’s part 107 exams to become a commercially licensed drone pilot and offering a deeper comprehension of the UAS operations. The sUAS Ground School Course sets a firm foundation of required aeronautical knowledge for remote pilots of UAS less than 55 pounds. The curriculum addresses all pertinent aeronautical knowledge factors outlined by the FAA for the Unmanned Aircraft General (UAG) examination and augments those with safety concepts and practices to develop well-informed and responsible pilots. After successful completion of this course, the learner would need to contact a local FAA Knowledge Testing Center and schedule the appropriate Airman Knowledge Exam (additional exam fees by the FAA will apply).

Unmanned Aircraft Systems course provides an understanding of the capabilities and limitations of UAS technology to include the hardware and software inclusions and gain a holistic view of concerns facing UAS integration into the National Airspace.

Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) Applications course provides an understanding of how unmanned aircraft are used to accomplish a variety of tasks in a complex environment and how remote pilots apply UAS technology for commercial, scientific, and governmental purposes while respecting both the physical and regulatory limitations. Additionally, this course creates a foundation for the concept of professionalism and ethics as they apply to remote pilots.

Unmanned Aircraft Systems Personnel course provides an understanding of the limits and skills employed by professional remote pilots in trapping and mitigating errors, as well as analyzing human error and management skills used to detect and stop errors during the day-to-day execution of remote pilot tasks. Additionally, this course explores the concepts of decision-making bias, stress, and methods for safely identifying and mitigating risk while making time critical decision.

Unmanned Aircraft Systems – Safety Management course introduces remote pilots to a management system and culture that is at the heart of the traditional aviation industry and explain the four pillars of a safety assurance, and safety promotion. Additionally, this course will explore, through exercises and readings, the process for incorporating these principles into a small UAS flight service company.
