The Regional Training Center (The RTC) is not affiliated with the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). The FAA Remote Pilot Airman Certificate is achieved by successfully completing the FAA Aeronautical Knowledge Test. The RTC has partnered with FAA testing centers to include the FAA test as part of this course (the test fee is included in the tuition). The RTC does not control or guarantee testing availability and will do everything reasonably possible to ensure students test as a class per schedule; however, testing site availability is strictly controlled by PSI Examination Services and the testing centers themselves. If we are unable to schedule a student’s examination, RTC will provide the student with a coupon code valid for one FAA Part 107 Examination. In addition, RTC staff will assist the student in registering for the examination if needed.
