What is sUAS, UAS, and UAV?

sUAS stands for small unmanned aircraft system, UAS stands for unmanned aerial system, and UAV stands for unmanned aerial vehicle. All three acronyms are often used synonymously with drone piloting.

Will EDLL 2100, EDLL 2200, or EDLL 2400 prepare me to pass the FAA Part 107 test?

Yes, all three courses are designed to provide all necessary information for you to pass the FAA Part 107 drone pilot test

Do these courses guarantee I pass the test?

No, these courses do not guarantee you will pass the test. However, we currently have a 100% pass rate for students who have completed our program. If you happen to fail the test, you are welcome to retake the course with us again.

How much hands-on drone flying will I get?

For students who enroll in EDLL 2100: FAA Part 107 Drone Pilot Test Prep and Ground Training, all students will get hands-on flight experience. During all four days, we provide our students with the opportunity to gain hands-on drone flying experience. We split up into smaller groups in order to provide each student with the most time in the sky possible.

Do I earn a certification or license for completing this course?

No. You will earn a certificate of completion, but this is not an official certification or license. You will still need to pass the FAA Part 107 test to become a licensed drone pilot.

How much does it cost to take the FAA Part 107 test?

The FAA Part 107 test costs $160. This fee is not included in the total tuition cost for the program.

Can I take this course with only the classroom instruction and not the drone flying component?

Yes. If you are only interested in the FAA Part 107 test preparation only, please enroll in EDLL 2200. We also offer EDLL 2400, which is a two-week, hybrid online course that combines student-led learning and six live lectures with our Instructors.
