Get test-ready.
Then go fly.

Twelve self-paced lessons, real knowledge checks, help from a working flight school—and one Discovery Flight included with your course purchase.

A real flight school answers the phone.

When you get stuck, call us. Ask the airspace question. Talk through the weather report. Get help from people who actually teach pilots.

FROM REMOTE PILOT TO THE LEFT SEAT

A Discovery Flight is included.

Finish the course, then come meet the flight school. Sit with an instructor, see the airplane, and experience what Part 61 training can become. Schedule directly with the school after purchase.

One Discovery Flight per course purchaser. Scheduling is subject to weather, aircraft, instructor availability, participant eligibility, and the flight school’s operating policies.

QUESTION ABOUT THE COURSE?

Call a flight school.
Not a call center.

We’re here for course questions, FAA-process questions, and the moment you decide you want to fly a real airplane.

BEFORE YOU ENROLL

Does the course issue my certificate?

No. VOES prepares you for the FAA process. The FAA issues the Remote Pilot Certificate after you meet its requirements.

Is the FAA knowledge-test fee included?

No. The $49.95 purchase covers the VOES online course, support, and included Discovery Flight offer. Testing-center charges are separate.

Can I ask an instructor for help?

Yes. That’s the point of learning with a real flight school: call with a question and talk to a real person.

How fast can I finish?

The curriculum contains roughly seven hours of instruction. Take it at your own pace and repeat lessons whenever you want.
