We’re going to talk about the initial and recurrent knowledge test for the remote pilot, otherwise known as the pilot in charge of the small unmanned aircraft system.

Initial and recurrent knowledge test will contain:

1. Applicable regulations relating to small unmanned aircraft system rating privileges, limitations, and flight operations.

2. Airspace classification, operating requirements, and flight restrictions affecting small unmanned aircraft operation.

3. Aviation weather sources and effects of weather on small unmanned aircraft performance.

4. Small unmanned aircraft loading

5. Emergency procedures

6. Crew resource management

7. Radio communication procedures

8. Determining the performance of small unmanned aircraft.

9. Physiological effects of drugs and alcohol

10. Aeronautical decision-making and judgement

11. Airport operations

12. Maintenance and preflight inspection procedures.

Understand that throughout our video-based learning platform that you’ll be working your way through to achieve your remote pilot certificate. We will cover each of these areas in detail.

We will also walk through the process that we have taken to add remote pilot onto our certificates.

There is a requirement for a recurrent knowledge test every 24 months:

1. Applicable regulations relating to small unmanned aircraft system rating privileges will be included on this recurrent knowledge test, along with limitations and flight operation

2. Airspace classification, operating requirements, and flight restrictions affecting small unmanned aircraft operations

3. Emergency procedures

4. Crew resource management

5. Aeronautical decision-making and judgment

6. Airport operations

7. Maintenance and preflight inspection procedures

Initial online training for certificated pilots will include:

1. Applicable regulations relating to small unmanned aircraft systems rating privileges, limitations, and flight operation

2. Effects of weather on small unmanned aircraft performance

3. Small unmanned aircraft loading

4. Emergency procedures

5. Crew resource management

6. Determining the performance of small unmanned aircraft

7. Maintenance and preflight inspection procedures

These things are all taken right out of the FAR AIM, Part 107. Recurrent training for certificated pilots will include:

1. Applicable regulations relating to small unmanned aircraft system’s rating privileges, limitations, and flight operation

2. Emergency procedures

3. Crew resource management

4. Maintenance and preflight inspection procedures

Videos specific for Initial and recurrent knowledge tests: Videos on our site will include knowledge on topics that not only non-certificated pilots will be tested on, and can be merely a review for certificated pilots preparing for the FAA online course.

Courses such as: • Airspace • Aviation weather sources • Radio communications • Physiological effects of drugs and alcohol • Aeronautical decision-making • Airport operations.

Here at Helicopter Ground, Kenny Keller, the creator and myself, Gary Cleveland, have both went through the process of getting our remote pilot certificate. Already being pilots, the process that we went through was simply going on to the FAA safety website and going through the initial knowledge course, passing the test that is also an online test, and then going through the IACRA system to do an application for an add-on rating for a drone pilot. And, finally, being recommended by a certified flight instructor to process the application.
