What specific STEM skills do I need to fly drones?
Welcome to Mission 3!
This mission is all about making sure students have the technical skills they need to fly drones. Students will learn how to map airspace, fly multiple drones at the same time safely. In this Mission students will be asked to complete the Trust Test, a FREE online UAS Safety Test. Any recreational flyer in the United States needs to pass the exam to fly legally. This includes all unmanned aerial systems, including drones, RC helicopters, and more.
Remember:
We offer Take Flight training to help bring your drone & STEM instruction to even higher altitudes.
