Remote Pilot Ground School is an FAA-aligned, self-paced online course delivered through the AeroWare learning management system, designed to prepare aspiring drone pilots to pass the FAA Remote Pilot (Part 107) Knowledge Test and operate commercially. The curriculum is organized into structured lesson modules that include:
-
Foundational UAS regulations and Remote Pilot responsibilities
-
Airspace classifications and legal operations in controlled and uncontrolled airspace
-
Weather fundamentals and aviation weather resources essential for safe flight planning
-
Preflight considerations, including aircraft loading, performance, and pilot physiology
-
Flight operations covering communication procedures, emergency response, and aeronautical decision making
The course combines structured readings, instructional videos, and lesson-based quizzes that reinforce learning and align with the FAA Airman Certification Standards (ACS) for Remote Pilots.
At the conclusion of the course, learners complete two FAA-style practice exams that simulate real testing conditions. Each exam consists of 60 randomized multiple-choice questions selected from an extensive question database using the official FAA topic quota system. These practice tests allow learners to attempt the exam multiple times, review correct and incorrect answers, and track performance improvements—helping build confidence and exam readiness.
For students seeking additional practice and deeper mastery, AeroWare also offers supplemental tools such as the Remote Pilot Questionnaire, featuring over 300 FAA-style questions with detailed explanations, and the Remote Pilot Prep Exam, which provides three additional full-length FAA-style practice exams. These optional resources further strengthen knowledge retention and test-day performance for pilots aiming to demonstrate true mastery of airspace, regulations, and operational safety.
