Nebraska Extension will offer one-day courses at the West Central Research, Extension and Education Center, in North Platte, to help individuals obtain their remote pilot license.

The course prepares drone pilots to pass the Federal Aviation Administration Aeronautical Knowledge Exam, which is required to obtain a Part 107 remote pilot certification to fly drones for commercial or public applications including agriculture.

Courses will be at 9 a.m. on May 30, Aug. 1 and Aug. 29. Preregistration is required. The $275 fee includes study materials, a light breakfast and lunch. To register for the course, visit go.unl.edu/NEpart107.
