This textbook is designed for those pursuing a Remote Pilot Certificate, essential for operating drones commercially. With a friendly and accessible style, the authors detail the journey to becoming a competent and responsible remote pilot, unlocking opportunities with increasingly advanced small unmanned aircraft systems (sUAS). To earn the certificate, candidates must pass an FAA Knowledge Exam. This resource not only prepares you for the exam but also teaches the fundamentals of UAS operation, including their components, aeronautical knowledge, and regulations necessary for flying alongside manned aircraft. Key topics include drone terminology, airspace navigation, airport operations, radio communication, weather, aerodynamics, emergency procedures, human factors, maintenance, and preflight inspections. The book enhances required knowledge with practical tips, checklists, mnemonic devices, and personal insights. Each chapter includes review questions similar to those on the FAA test, along with a comprehensive glossary and index. This unique practical approach to the knowledge needed for the FAA Knowledge Exam is unmatched in other resources. Readers will gain the expertise to pass the test and operate safely as remote pilots in the U.S. National Airspace System.
