You can fly sUAS (small uncrewed aircraft systems) platforms professionally, but there are required steps you must take and information you have to know. In fact, you have to become an aviator. The lines between a UAV (uncrewed air vehicle) flight and a piloted aircraft are really becoming blurred. To fly an sUAS, you will need to understand weather, the National Airspace System, airport operations, and other items previously held for crewed aircraft. One of the largest tasks ahead will be learning a new language. Aviation has its own terminology, and to make it even more challenging, so much of it is referred to with acronyms. Authors Bob Gardner and David Ison have laid all of this out for you, organized it well for future reference, and included great graphics.
This textbook is for anyone interested in pursuing and obtaining a Remote Pilot Certificate, which is required in order to operate drones for commercial use. With a friendly and readable style, the authors cover all of the details involved in becoming a competent, responsible, and safe remote pilot, opening up tremendous opportunities for flying increasingly affordable and sophisticated small uncrewed aircraft systems (sUAS).
Drones, officially referred to as uncrewed or unmanned aircraft systems (UAS), provide tremendous opportunities for commercial and personal use. They provide a unique view of our world, are relatively simple to use, and have become increasingly affordable. While UAS have often been viewed as toys, they have become very sophisticated vehicles capable of performing a range of tasks. This increase in capabilities and utilities has resulted in more common use of UAS, with them oftentimes sharing airspace with crewed aircraft.
An FAA Knowledge Exam is a requirement for earning a Remote Pilot Certificate. The Complete Remote Pilot is designed to not only prepare you for the exam but to teach you about how drones fly, their components and systems, and the aeronautical knowledge required to fly in the same airspace as crewed aircraft. This book covers specifics on drone terminology, regulations, airspace and navigation, airport and off-airport operations, radio communication procedures, weather, aerodynamics and aircraft performance, emergency procedures, human factors, maintenance, and preflight inspection procedures.
This second edition incorporates regulation changes in 14 CFR Parts 89 and 107 for sUAS equipment; operating at night and over people; remote pilot knowledge, training, and certification; and remote identification of uncrewed aircraft. The required aeronautical knowledge is augmented with specific tips and techniques, checklists, and mnemonic devices, as well as review questions for each chapter similar to the type found on the FAA test, a comprehensive glossary, and index. You will gain the practical knowledge needed to pass the FAA Knowledge Exam and understand how to operate safely as a remote pilot in the U.S. National Airspace System.
