DroneReady Curriculum is FAA Part 107 certification-prep material designed from the ground up for high-school CTE, STEM, and aviation programs. Every lesson, visual, and question maps to the FAA Airman Certification Standards — and to the state and federal codes your district has to report against.
The FAA Part 107 Remote Pilot Certificate is one of the few credentials a 16-year-old can legally hold that employers actually pay for — surveying, real estate, agriculture, public safety, film, and inspection work all run on Part 107.
But almost every Part 107 study resource on the market is built for adult hobbyists: dense, slide-deck-flavored, light on visuals, and silent on classroom logistics. Teachers running CTE drone pathways end up stitching together YouTube, an FAA PDF, and a $40 commercial study guide that none of their students will read.
DroneReady Curriculum is the version we wished existed. Worked examples before rule recitation. Sectional-chart practice that looks like the actual exam. Flashcards and quizzes a 10th grader will actually use. Standards documents your CTE coordinator can paste into a Perkins V application without rewriting.
Three commitments that show up in every Assessment Pack, slide deck, and Bell Ringer in the catalog.
Every topic maps to a specific Airman Certification Standards area (UA.I.A through UA.V.B). When the FAA updates the ACS, the curriculum updates with it — no waiting on a new textbook edition.
TEKS §130.452, Virginia CTE 8910/8912, Common Core RST.11-12, NGSS HS-ETS1, Perkins V — every alignment is on the /standards page. Paste it into your scope and sequence as-is.
Every Assessment Pack mirrors the FAA exam format — 3 choices, ACS-style distractors, sectional-chart questions with actual charts. The 6-Week Bootcamp is the same content sequenced for one class period a day.
14 standalone topics
From Regulations through Maintenance & Inspection — each topic ships as a slide deck, Bell Ringer, Assessment Pack, and Answer Key. Use one or run all 14 as a semester.
378 practice questions
FAA-style, 3-choice, ACS-coded, with worked explanations. Deduplicated and human-reviewed — no question repeats across the catalog.
The 6-Week Bootcamp
The full pathway, sequenced for ~30 class periods. Daily Bell Ringers, unit assessments, sectional-chart practice, and a 60-question final.
Free LMS (in beta)
Teachers can run flashcards, quizzes, and gradebook against the 378-question bank with no student emails required (4-digit PIN auth). Free with any catalog purchase.
DroneReady is shipping new material on a public roadmap.
All 14 topics live on TPT
À la carte Assessment Packs and the bundled 6-Week Bootcamp.
LMS open beta
Teacher accounts, classes, flashcards, quizzes, CSV gradebook export.
Sectional-chart simulator
Browser-based practice on real sectional charts — pan, zoom, identify airspace, plot waypoints. Closing the biggest gap in current Part 107 prep material.
District site licenses
Multi-classroom rollouts with shared gradebook visibility, PD package, and per-campus reporting. See /schools.
Companion certifications
TRUST recreational, Part 107 recurrent, and AMA-aligned safety content to bridge students from Part 107 into industry-recognized stacks.
CTE drone pathway teachers
Running TEKS §130.452, Virginia CTE 8910, or a state equivalent. DroneReady is the assessment + study layer, not the flight component.
STEM and aviation electives
Mid-semester drone units inside a broader aerospace, engineering, or geospatial course. Use one Assessment Pack or run the full Bootcamp.
After-school + Career Centers
Career & Technical Centers, after-school drone clubs, and dual-enrollment programs preparing students for industry certifications by graduation.
Whether you're piloting a single-class unit or rolling out a district pathway — we'd rather have a real conversation than ship blind. Email goes to a human.
Prepare. Learn. Fly.
