Commercial Remote Pilot Course
What's better than flying? Getting paid to fly!
Revolutionary ground school training. Planehook's approach to ground school is learner-centric, not teacher-centric. Sure, it's easier for the teacher to present everything about one subject and then move on to a new subject--Regulations, Airspace, Weather, and so on. The problem is that after presenting all of those different subjects like that, YOU are expected to piece all of the facts together and make sense out of them.
That's NOT how we do it...and it's revolutionary.
Planehook's ground school takes a bite-of-the-apple approach. You get a bit of regulations, then weather theory, then airspace, then aircraft performance, and so on and then put them all together to make sense out of all of what you learned. We call this the Spiral approach. Your learning will take 5 spirals, giving you time to put all of the facts, figures, and regulations into a meaningful context. At the end of each spiral you get a short quiz that helps bring all of the pieces of the learning puzzle together.
We think this is a much better approach...and our learning pilots do, too.

Instructor Syllabus
Helping provide the human touch to ground school.
Instructors teaching semester-long courses will find Planehook's Instructor Syllabus quite helpful.
With a realistic pacing for learning pilots in grades 10-12, this syllabus provides a schedule using Planehook's Commercial Remote Pilot Course and adds both hangar flying and flight instruction lessons using both simulators and small UAS. What's more, there is flexibility built-in to the syllabus to account for class time that gets converted into standardized testing periods, fire drills, and other typical challenges to maintaining the pace of learning.
At the end, your learning pilots are ready to take the FAA's Remote Pilot Initial General Knowledge Test and earn their Remote Pilot Certificates.
