Official FAA publication The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has published the Remote Pilot - Small Unmanned Aircraft Systems (sUAS) Study Guide to communicate the knowledge areas you need to study to prepare to take the Remote Pilot Certificate with an sUAS rating airman knowledge test.

This FAA study guide targets individuals looking to study for their FAA Remote Pilot test with sUAS rating, and those seeking to renew their license (certificate). As such, the aim of this text is to identify and provide the resources necessary to study for and pass the FAA written test in order to operate Small Unmanned Aircraft Systems or "drones" commercially.The study guide covers applicable regulations, airspace classification operating requirements and flight restrictions, aviation weather services, effects of weather on sUAS performance, small unmanned aircraft loading, emergency procedures, crew resource management (CRM), radio communication procedures, physiological factors (including drugs and alcohol) affecting pilot performance, aeronautical decision making (ADM) and judgment, airport operations, and maintenance and preflight inspection procedures.

(Black & White Edition) - Applicants seeking a Remote Pilot Certificate with an sUAS rating must pass a Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Knowledge Exam. In this study guide the FAA lays out the knowledge areas required for preparing to take this airman knowledge test. This information has been gathered from several FAA resources to provide guidance for remote pilots operating drones in the National Airspace System (NAS). The study guide covers applicable regulations, airspace classification operating requirements and flight restrictions, aviation weather services, effects of weather on sUAS performance, small unmanned aircraft loading, emergency procedures, crew resource management (CRM), radio communication procedures, physiological factors affecting pilot performance, aeronautical decision making (ADM) and judgment, airport operations, and maintenance and preflight inspection procedures.

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has published the Remote Pilot - small Unmanned Aircraft Systems (sUAS) Airman Certification Standard (ACS) document to communicate the aeronautical knowledge standards for a Remote Pilot Certificate with an sUAS rating. The FAA views the ACS as the foundation to an integrated and systematic approach to airman certification. The ACS is part of the safety management system (SMS) framework that the FAA uses to mitigate risks associated with airman certification training and testing. Specifically, the ACS, associated guidance, and test question components of the airman certification system are constructed around the four functional components of an SMS: 1. Safety Policy that defines and describes aeronautical knowledge and risk management as integrated components of the airman certification system; 2. Safety Risk Management processes through which internal stakeholders identify and evaluate regulatory changes, safety recommendations, or other factors that require modification of airman testing and training materials; 3. Safety Assurance processes to ensure the prompt and appropriate incorporation of changes arising from new regulations and safety recommendations; and 4. Safety Promotion in the form of ongoing engagement with both external stakeholders and FAA policy divisions. The FAA has developed the ACS with the goal to drive a systematic approach to all components of the airman certification system which includes the knowledge test question development, course development, and guidance material. The FAA acknowledges and appreciates the many hours that these aviation experts have contributed toward this goal. This level of collaboration, a hallmark of a robust safety culture, strengthens and enhances aviation safety at every level of the airman certification system.

All the resources a Remote Pilot needs to pass the FAA written exam and for professionals to fly in accordance with all Federal Regulations and Policies.This compilation work targets individuals looking to study for their FAA Remote Pilot test with sUAS rating, those seeking to renew their license, and as a continual reference resource for currently licensed professionals, businesses, and public entitiesoperating under Part 107 Rules. As such, the aim of this text is to identify and provide the resources necessary to study for and pass the FAA written test. All of the resources contained herein are recommended as study materials by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). It is also recommended to pair this Handbook with the current edition of the RemotePilot FAR AIM book.This handbook is part of a series of resources developed specially for the Unmanned Aircraft System (UAS) industry, and was birthed out of an unsuccessful search for suitable texts and resources for professionals and businesses in the industry. Series authors are drawn from within the UAS industry, professionals operating in specialties in the field, as well as from universities and learning institutions from around the world.
