This course is offered at no cost and is open to first-time pilots* interested in obtaining an FAA Part 107 Remote Pilot Certificate. Students must be at least 16 years old and must purchase the textbook 2025-2026 Remote Pilot Test Prep (Softcover) with Prepware Download prior to the first meeting.

We will meet in the classroom at the EAA Chapter 1414 hangar from 9:00 to 11:30 AM on the following Saturday mornings:

March 15, March 2, March 29, April 5 & April 12.

Students should make every effort to attend all the meetings and be prepared to set aside four to six hours of home study time each week. This course will prepare students for the aeronautical knowledge test which must be taken at an FAA-approved Knowledge Testing Center. The aeronautical knowledge test consists of 60 questions which must be completed in 120 minutes. A score of at least 70% is required to pass. There is a $175.00 fee to take the aeronautical knowledge test.

There is no drone flight test required.

Up to ten youth ages 16 to 19 who attend every meeting in this course will receive a $100 scholarship from EAA Chapter 1414 upon successful completion of the aeronautical knowledge test. The scholarship is available on a first-complete, first awarded basis. Please email Chris Wells at [email protected] by March 8 to register for the course.
