  • As a UAS Remote PIC you will probably rarely operate on an airfield, but knowing the radio frequencies and operations at an airport are very important

  • Our missions can be difficult even in perfect weather, so we don't want to fly our missions in unnecessarily hazardous weather

  • The UAS is an incredible tool for us to have in our toolbox; however, we have the responsibility to keep it maintained and follow the manufacturer's instructions to be safe.

  • Planning and communicating what each crew member's responsibilities are before flight is required. Managing the crew properly helps ensure a successful mission

Hi, I'm Bethany Bouquet!

FAA Part 107 Remote Pilot | VerticalGeo UAS Academy Instructor

I started working with sUAS or drones in 2015/2016 through a research program in graduate school. During this time, we were using drones for agriculture research.

Around this time, the FAA created the Part 107 Small Unmanned Aircraft Rule to govern all commercial drone operations: this also included our research applications. In April 2016, I passed the original FAA Part 107 exam and became a FAA Part 107 Remote Pilot Certificate Holder.

Since then, I have used sUAS in a variety of operations including: agriculture research, imagery acquisition missions, situational awareness, and search and rescue.

I am passionate about making aeronautical information easy to understand so more people can operate legally as Part 107 Remote Pilots. I have taught this course both in person for first responders and online for all of you! I am so excited you are here and cannot wait for you to take your exam and become FAA Part 107 Remote Pilot Certificate Holders.
