• Unlimited practice exams (with more than 300 questions) 
• Study guide and course outline to fill out as you progress through the lessons
• Mobile and off-line access to lessons

The Course #

John Peltier’s Remote Pilot course does much more than just give you the bare minimum of facts you need to know to pass the test.

He guides you into a thorough understanding of the concepts surrounding the FAA test material to make you a better and safer drone pilot. 

More than ten hours of video lessons are broken down into 37 individual lessons. They’re organized around chapters covering everything you are expected to know for the FAA knowledge test. 

Each video lesson is followed by a quiz on that material. Then there’s an additional chapter test at the end of each of the five content chapters. 

After you’ve completed all of the video lessons, you have the opportunity to take a practice exam as many times as you want.

This will help you identify the areas you need to review more for better understanding or show you if you’re ready to sign up for the real thing.
