If you are interested in pursuing and obtaining the Remote Pilot Certificate required to operate drones for commercial use, this textbook is for you. With a friendly and readable style, the author covers the details involved in becoming a competent, responsible, and safe remote pilot, while opening tremendous opportunities for flying increasingly affordable and sophisticated small uncrewed aircraft systems (sUAS).

Earning a Remote Pilot Certificate requires passing an FAA Knowledge Exam. The Complete Remote Pilot not only prepares you for the exam but also teaches you about how drones fly, their components and systems, and the requirements to fly in the same airspace as crewed aircraft. Learn 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.
