Draganfly’s Drone Technology Course includes a Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Part 107 drone preparation course. To fly drones under the FAA’s Small Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) Rule (Part 107), a Remote Pilot Certificate must be obtained. The certificate demonstrates that pilots understand the regulations, operating requirements, and procedures for safely flying drones.
As of May 31, 2022, FAA data claims that more than 865,000 drones have been registered and over 280,000 remote pilots have been certified.
