Course Summary

The Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) Operators Course is 48 hours of instruction designed to provide organizations with skilled pilots with the depth of understanding necessary to safely operate in, maintain, or create an aviation program based on unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) platforms.  Training begins online with FAA Part 107 test preparation culminating with an in-class test review and test scheduling assistance.  

Students will:

  • Prepare for the FAA UAG 107 test (test fee included in tuition)
  • Identify and explain agency-specific mission sets
  • Demonstrate the ability to create or modify a UAS safety management system
  • Demonstrate the ability to create or modify a UAS maintenance program
  • Explain UAS operations and limitations
  • Create or modify a UAS training program
  • Demonstrate the ability to apply for Public Use Certificates of Authorization and waivers under Part 107
  • Demonstrate the ability to operate a UAV in basic mission sets


Each student will receive a minimum of 12 hours of flight instruction and log at least 3 hours of actual flight time. Students will be prepared for and scheduled to take the  FAA’s Part 107 Examination. Successful students will return to their respective organizations as trained operators with all the information required for a fully developed program ready for management review.

The Regional Training Center (The RTC) is not affiliated with the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). The FAA Remote Pilot Airman Certificate is achieved by passing the FAA Aeronautical Knowledge Test. PSI Examination Services now controls all FAA Part 107 testing. The RTC staff will facilitate and assist students in scheduling their FAA examination using an RTC-issued coupon code.
