Melrose, Florida — September 20, 2024

107 School has announced its publication of Introduction to Part 107: Do I Need a Part 107 Certificate? and the book’s availability on the company’s website and other channels.

Designed to be a primer to assist prospective pilots with their investigation of aviation and potential career paths within the industry, Introduction to Part 107: Do I Need a Part 107 Certificate? details the world of drones, and provides clarity to the federal aviation regulations that govern the industry—known as Part 107.

This section of law outlines the regulations for registration, certification, and operation of remotely piloted, civilian small unmanned aircraft systems to operate over people in the United States.

In addition to covering the nuts and bolts of Part 107, Introduction to Part 107: Do I Need a Part 107 Certificate? also provides a glimpse into what it’s possible to do with a remote pilot certificate through personal experience and relatable scenarios.

“We believe flying small remotely piloted aircraft is the logical place to start your aviation career,” said John Ellis, founder of 107 School. “It’s an affordable and accessible starting point for future aviators, and a good introduction to the processes and procedures of the FAA and dealing with them.

“The Remote Pilot knowledge exam was first aviation knowledge test I sat for, in 2016, and afterwards I became an Advanced Ground Instructor by sitting for two more aeronautical knowledge exams. From those beginnings, I produced the very first instructional video course on the subject, as well as courses for private pilot, instrument rating, commercial pilot, fundamentals of instructing, and flight instructor."

“I designed Introduction to Part 107: Do I Need a Part 107 Certificate? as a tool to help a prospective pilot determine the best course of entry into aviation, so that they can make their own decisions with ample information,” Ellis concluded.

Introduction to Part 107: Do I Need a Part 107 Certificate? is available on Kindle ($9.99), paperback ($9.99), and hardcover print formats ($29.99) on 107school.com and Amazon.
