…I believe their (USI) training changed how I view UAS operations. USI’s emphasis on safety is what separates them from all other UAS providers and courses. The courses I participated in highlighted the correct use of personal protective equipment (PPE), the importance of Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) and checklists, and the correct methods of conducting site survey considerations prior to takeoff. Upon my first week with Trihydro, I revised all of the SOPs and checklists to emphasis the importance of safety. Without USI’s safety training I would not have had the knowledge or background to provide changes to these documents…

I knew when I started my training, that I wanted something that was not just a preparatory course for the Part 107 exam. While those are still okay, they’re not going to teach you what you need to know for day to day business in your career as a drone operator and pilot. What I learned from USI, I use every single day.

The training I received from USI has been a game-changer for my career. The USI courses not only deepened my understanding of remotely piloted systems and safety in business aviation, but their expert-led instruction also equipped me with the skills and confidence to excel in this innovative field. USI provides endless opportunities for growth and leadership in the future of aviation, and I offer my special thanks to them for their exceptional support and guidance.

questions & answers
To fly a drone commercially in the U.S., you need a Part 107 license from the FAA. This applies to anyone making money from drones, such as through ads on YouTube. Various professionals, including real estate agents, roofers, photographers, mappers, influencers, and first responders, use drones to enhance their work.
Anyone can become a Part 107 certified drone pilot if they’re at least 16 years old, physically and mentally fit, and can speak and write in English. U.S. citizenship isn’t required. To get the license, you must pass a 60-question exam.

The FAA recommends 20 hours of study to pass the Part 107 exam. Our course is 15 hours, which, along with some light reading, is sufficient. Many other courses are only about 5 hours long.
The Part 107 exam costs around $175 and is administered by an FAA-authorized center. We don’t receive any part of this fee. It’s non-refundable, so make sure to study thoroughly before taking it. If you fail, you’ll need to wait 2 weeks before retaking the exam.
The FAA has a list of authorized testing facilities, with centers in most major cities across all 50 states. Signing up for a test date in advance can help motivate you to study.
The money-back “Guaranteed Pass” or “Pass Guarantee”, requires the learner to complete all modules in the course, achieve 90% or better on all progress checks and the practice exam, and receive a USI Certificate of Completion. The Certificate of Completion must be dated within seven days of taking the FAA unmanned aircraft general exam.
