Small Unmanned Aerial Systems (sUAS) Remote Pilot License Test Prep Course
Why is it cool?
Drones, or small unmanned aerial systems (sUAS), have proved beneficial in many areas, and their numbers and uses continue to expand. Drones are now being used in many sectors, including energy, business, journalism, construction, meteorology and more.
While anyone can fly a drone for recreational purposes, those using drones for commercial purposes must obtain a Remote Pilot Certificate. Obtaining a Remote Pilot Certificate can offer a skill set beneficial to University of Oklahoma students entering the work force, as well as individuals looking for advancement in a number of careers.
The next course will be held from 6 to 10 p.m. on four consecutive Tuesdays, March 26-April 16.
The sUAS Remote Pilot License Test Prep Course is an innovative, seminar-style class that will prepare you to pass the FAA’s sUAS initial written Aeronautical Knowledge Test, which is required to obtain a Remote Pilot Certificate and operate a commercial drone. The class covers history, some theory of operations and a basic introduction to drone technology.
The 15-hour course consists of pre-read materials, in-class lectures and a practice exam at the end of the course. Students will leave the class not only prepared to pass the Aeronautical Knowledge Test, but with a better understanding of safe and professional drone operation. A certificate of completion will be awarded following the course.
