Course Description:

EMMU Aerial is offering the popular Part 107 Drone Pilot Test Prep Course

To fly your drone under the FAA's Small UAS Rule (Part 107) for commercial purposes, you must obtain a Remote Pilot Certificate from the FAA.  This certificate demonstrates that you understand the regulations, operating requirements, and procedures for safely flying drones. 

In order to get the Part 107 Remote Pilot Certificate, you need to pass the FAA drone pilot test called the Airman Knowledge Test. The two-hour, 60 question test requires extensive studying and our course teaches you everything you need to know.  Knowledge test topic areas include:

  • Applicable regulations relating to small unmanned aircraft system rating privileges, limitations, and flight operation

Civilian Drones Search and Rescue Documentary



From a YouTube post on civilian drones in search and rescue in 2013 that I thought would be important to bring back.

I cannot believe how the FAA sacrificed Gene Robinson. He did some amazing things, solving missing persons in minutes vs hours, days and weeks.  Texas was really critical on drones and now they are one of the more accepting states.

This documentary details the bureaucratic challenges faced by search and rescue personnel and their desperate need for civilian drones which are restricted by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). Countless lives could be saved with this existing and affordable technology, but the government prohibited their use in 2007.
