SUMMARY:FAA Drone Certification Test Prep Course
DESCRIPTION:Since the early days of Tesla operating a remote-controlled boat\, DRONE have been used by the military\, hobbyists\, and companies.  Only in the past few years has the FAA required that DRONE operators for non-personal use be certified as commercial pilots.  Professor Anthony Choi and John Granich determined early on that education would play a key role in the drone certification process.  It would provide a path to standardize how operators are trained.  Based on their discussions with a Putman County High School they conducted a two semester COI that not only certified 13 high school students\, but also provided them with a basic understanding of how DRONE collect and process data.  This COI is designed on the foundation of that COI. \nCourse Outline: \nThe course will be broken into 12 condensed sections each taking approximately one hour plus 3 hours of review and practice exam. \n1.Regulations\n2.Airspace Classifications\n3.Aviation Weather\n4.Small Unmanned Loading\n5.Emergency Procedures\n6.Crew Resource Management\n7.Radio Communications\n8.Determining Performance of Small Unmanned Systems\n9.Physiological Effects of Drug and Alcohol\n10.Aeronautical Decision Making & Judgement\n11.Airport Operations\n12.Maintenance & Pre-flight Inspection Procedures\n13.Review and Exam \nWho should consider taking this course? \nAny person who has a need to operate a drone for commercial purposes.
