Nebraska Extension will offer the Part 107 Remote Exam Prep Course on Friday, April 25, at the UNL Panhandle Research, Extension, and Education Center in Scottsbluff. The course is a valuable educational opportunity for anyone interested in flying drones for commercial or public applications, including emergency management, law enforcement, real estate and land management, photography, and agriculture.

If you plan to be an agricultural spray drone pilot, Part 107 Remote Pilot Certificate is an important step towards that goal. The course does not specifically address spray drone regulations, but you will gain all the knowledge needed to pass the Part 107 drone exam.

Online pre-registration is required. The course registration fee is $275. Discounts are available to eligible students and educators who complete an online application.
