If you're interested in making money using your drone or adding unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) capabilities to your industry, join other professionals and hobbyists as they learn how to fly small UAVs (drones) and prepare for the FAA's Part 107 exam.

The Ohio Aerospace Institute will host Kent State University aerospace faculty August 12-14, 2021, as they bring their UAV expertise to Cleveland.

Passing the Part 107 exam makes you a certified commercial drone pilot. You will be able to fly in uncontrolled airspace that those without certification cannot legally fly. You'll learn about Low Altitude Authorization and Notification Capability (LAANC) which directly supports UAV integration into the airspace. Knowing the law will protect you, your company, and the public when piloting a UAV.

Mastery of UAVs – initially used in military scenarios and by first responders – gives you a competitive edge, as this technology is quickly finding daily use across many industries.
