Iowa Central Community College is offering a Federal Aviation Administration Part 107 class, which focuses on small, unmanned aircraft operations also known as drones.

The class will be offered as a 12-week online, video-based course from Feb. 1, 2022 through May 2, 2022.

Part 107 of FAA regulations covers a broad spectrum of commercial and government uses for drones weighing less than 55 pounds.

The Operations Over People rule became effective on April 21, 2021. Drone pilots operating under Part 107 may fly at night, over people and moving vehicles without a waiver if they meet the requirements defined in the rule. Airspace authorizations are still required for night operations in controlled airspace under 400 feet.

Upon completion of this class, students will have the knowledge to take the FAA Part 107 certification test, so they can fly their drone commercially in the United States.

Tuition for the class is $299. For more information, please contact Raeann Dischler at dischler@iowacentral.edu or 515-574-1292. To register, visit https://bit.ly/3y4Fu76.
