USI and Pitsco: Commercial Remote Pilot Integrated Training Program

• Ensures relevant content designed to prepare learners for the FAA Part 107 Commercial Remote Pilot examination.
• Bridges aviation concepts and practice by combining aeronautical knowledge with hands-on flight experience.
• Increases understanding of airspace, weather, and regulations through instructor-led and LMS based content reinforced through flight labs.
• Empower CTE, STEM, and workforce programs to create FAA Certificate Exam readiness and real-world application of flight principles and operational outcomes.

Reinforce learning and boost retention by combining USI's core curriculum with hands-on Fly Day Friday labs, where students immediately apply key concepts in real-world scenarios.

• Certification + Real Skills: Equip students to pass to FAA Part 107 exam while building real-world operational skills in flight control, mission planning, and decision-making.
• Scenario-Based Learning: Bridge classroom learning to industry by giving students hands-on labs that simulate real-world applications such as airspace management, mapping, inspections, and emergency response.
• FAA Knowledge + Practical Application: Build both test and operational readiness by combining FAA-required aeronautical knowledge - airspace, weather, regulations, and ADM - with hands-on flight activities that reinforce real-world application.
• Turnkey Solutions for Schools: Simplify implementation and ensure consistent learning with structure pacing, repeatable lab formats, and integrated curriculum adaptable to a variety of classroom environments.

Prepare students with knowledge necessary to successfully sit for the FAA Part 107 examination.

• Provide students with hands-on flight experience using actual drones designed for safe, indoor, repeatable use.
• Understand the hardware and software fundamentals of drone technology
• Practice hands-on flight skills with an emphasis on safe, efficient, and effective outcomes.
• Discuss and explore the many drone-related job opportunities available within numerous industry clusters.

Start the week building USI knowledge via modules. Then, at the end of the week, put learning into action with hands-on Fly Day Friday labs.
