NOTE: All night waivers issued prior to March 16, 2021, the effective date of the new rule which authorize deviation from § 107.29 Daylight Operation, were terminated on May 17, 2021.

The objective of this training program is to present the physiological effects associated with night flying, as well as mission planning considerations for night operations.

sUAV operations at night under part 107 no longer require a waiver.

Night operations under Section §349 falls under the Guidelines of “a community based organization” under conditions of “complete illumination” of the UAS or remote aircraft.

Night operation involves a number of specific hazards and considerations not encountered during normal daylight flight operations. Night operations should not be attempted without preparation and training in the various hazards and precautions necessary for safety. That’s what this class is about.

This course is based on information from public FAA resources.

Total video duration is just over a half hour, plus resources for offline study  and the final test. The course syllabus is describes the course.  There is no time limit for this course (review any time) and you may replay any video as many times as necessary to fully understand the material.

The important thing is not how much you spend on a course or class, in time or money, but how much practical information you acquire. The FAA is concerned about not only what you know but how you can use what you know to affect safety. This class is designed to provide the most information in the most efficient way. Don’t forget to review the supplemental material and resources.

A training certificate will be issued on completion of this course.
