This focused 2.5-day course is designed exclusively to prepare law enforcement and public safety professionals to pass the FAA Part 107 Remote Pilot Certification Exam—a legal requirement for operating drones commercially or on behalf of a public agency in the United States.
The course provides in-depth instruction on every subject area covered by the FAA’s Part 107 exam, including airspace classifications, drone flight restrictions, weather interpretation, operational limitations, and federal aviation regulations. Students will learn how to read aeronautical charts, decode aviation weather reports (METARs/TAFs), understand airspace authorization procedures, and apply FAA rules to real-world scenarios.
Whether building a new drone program or seeking individual certification, this course ensures students are fully prepared to take—and pass—the FAA Remote Pilot Knowledge Test.
