Online Course Helps Drone Ops with Simple Lessons

Tried and true aviation publisher ASA has announced a new online ground school course for use in those seeking a remote pilot certificate.

The course is aimed beyond hobbyist, personal operations, providing the knowledge needed to make a living with a remotely piloted aircraft. Those in it for pay need a Remote Pilot Certificate with a small unmanned aircraft systems rating. As always, that demands they pass the required FAA Knowledge Exam (okay, "written" in airfield slang). Once passed, students can sport their newly minted Remote Pilot certificate w with a small unmanned aircraft systems (sUAS) rating and get to work with all the whiz-bang new commercial products on the small business drone market.

ASA says their course pairs well with regular, in-person ground school, though it is similarly effective for self-study. "The comprehensive curriculum consists of lessons featuring internet-based evaluation, resources, and course tracking, supported with professional multimedia presentations from the leaders in drone training."

Throughout the course, students will work through content provided by the Remote Pilot Test Prep and The Complete Remote Pilot textbook, watch video lessons, then study with questions from ASA Prepware. The course fee of $149 gets students a 24-month subscription to Remote Pilot Online Ground School and Prepware Online.
