Part 107 review course (Live Online)

Online Part 107 Review Course

Our Part 107 review course is a 2 day Course. The course is divided into 2 separate 4 hour sessions. The course is live and NOT prerecorded. The materials we teach are reference materials the FAA developed for the Part 107 certification.

As educators, we decided several years ago there was a better way to educate drone pilots to be outstanding professional pilots and examples of safety first professionals.

As Master Instructors, we teach our students with additional training and information above the FAA standard requirements which builds a better understanding of drone capabilities and usage in business. We also include the FAA recommendations in our course. No drone is able to do everything, some are far better than others given a specific task.

3rd Rock Air's FAA Part 107 review course provides a 200+ page workbook structured and developed for our students based on the FAA 1200 plus pages of procedures and documents from the FAA regulations. The FAA Part 107 knowledge exam is comprised of 60 multiple choice questions. To pass, you must have a score of at least 70%. This exam may only be taken at a FAA Knowledge Testing Center. The exam cost is not standard. Different FAA Knowledge Testing Centers charge different prices, so shop around. To find a testing center near you, go to Knowledge testing centers

Our goal is to help you understand the material, not just memorize it to increase your chances of passing. And if you're not successful when you sit for the exam, you may take the course again at no charge. We want you to be a part of this amazing industry.

This is a dangerous occupation and should be treated with the utmost respect. When this respect is gained and safety is first, creativity is born. You then, become the mentor to other pilots. Become our student and join our mission!
