While the advent of drone technology has state leaders and educators excited about the economic and job prospects from this burgeoning industry, an increasing number of drones in the skies has some citizens ducking for cover. The college already offers an introductory course on the history of drones but the courses in the new program would be hands on and could include actual drone launches and simulations, Baldessari said. Baldessari told Northwest Watchdog the goal is to get students prepared for that industry. While commercial drone use is not allowed in the United States as the FAA continues to figure out the new technology, it is growing internationally. The FAA requires testing sites to follow state and federal privacy laws and develop a written plan for data retention. In December, the Federal Aviation Administration approved three testing ranges in Oregon for unmanned aerial vehicles. Karl Baldessari, aviation program coordinator for the college, emphasized the program will be focused on commercial use training only, nothing military. ![]() ![]() The drone piloting courses, which would be part of a new two-year degree program in unmanned and traditional piloting, is awaiting state approval to be held this fall at Central Oregon Community College inBend.

And just case you were skeptical (we were at first when they approached us about partnering), the program has a 99% pass rate, and if you DON'T pass your test, they will refund all your money AND reimburse you for the testing fee. Over 20,000 students have enrolled in the course, and have gone on to make millions of dollars by flying drones. Oregon Flight School has partnered with UAV Coach to offer a fantastic Part 107 Remote Pilot ground school course that will teach you everything you need to know in order to pass the FAA Part 107 Written Test. The good news is that the process to obtain this license is easy and affordable. This means that if someone is paying you to fly a drone (compensation does not need to be monetary!), or if you are making money from content that was created with a drone, you are required by federal law to have a Remote Pilot Certificate. Since 2016, the Federal Aviation Administration has made it a requirement that any person who is being compensated to fly a UAS (aka "drone") must have a valid FAA Part 107 Remote Pilot Certificate with a Small UAS rating. ![]()
