Two-Day Workshop
In person across the Pacific Northwest, the format we have run since 2018. Two intensive days, all eleven topics, practice exams, and instructors who fly for a living in the room with you.
The Flight Academy
Pass the Exam. Fly the Mission.
Since 2018 our Flight Academy has run in-person workshops across the Pacific Northwest. Today the full academy lives online too, powered by the Flight Lab: interactive chart and airspace training built for the exam the FAA gives now.
The Flight Lab
Charts Were the Hard Part. Now They Are the Whole Game.
On October 26, 2026, the FAA starts pulling Part 107 chart questions from live sectional charts instead of the supplement figures students used to memorize. If you cannot read a chart you have never seen, the new test will find out.
The Chart Reading Lab is our answer. You build the airspace yourself, fly a real sectional, and rehearse with a practice exam in the new format. It is the same chart discipline our instructors teach in the two-day workshop, rebuilt as an interactive lab you can run from anywhere. And because Regulations now carry 48 percent of the exam under the current PSI blueprint, the academy weights your study plan to match: heavy on the rules, fluent on the charts.
Step 01Build the Airspace
Shelves, floors, and ceilings, assembled piece by piece until controlled airspace reads like a picture.
Step 02Fly a Real Sectional
Work the Jamestown sectional and full-size charts, question by question, with instructor walkthroughs.
Step 03Practice Exam
A timed, scored rehearsal in the new format, so test day holds no surprises.

From the Classroom
Real Classes, Real Students
QD training started in physical classrooms across the Pacific Northwest, and the online academy teaches the same material the same way: charts on the screen, instructor at the front, questions until it clicks.
Airspace, Taught Live
Class B airspace on the big screen: the same chart-first instruction that anchors the online course and every Flight Lab.
Chart Briefings
Working a real sectional chart line by line with the class, exactly the skill the current exam now tests.
Graduation Day
Another cohort done. Our students come from public safety, utilities, agriculture, and small business, and they leave certificated.
Curriculum
All Eleven Topics, Weighted Like the Real Test
The full Part 107 body of knowledge, taught in the proportions the current exam blueprint demands.

Test Prep and Practice Exams
Practical Flight Instruction
The Certificate Gets You Legal. Stick Skills Keep You Safe.
Our practical training runs on the NIST obstacle course, the standard test method developed for the Department of Homeland Security emergency response robot teams.
- Precision maneuvers against a measured standard, not vibes
- Confined-space and proximity flying for inspection and public safety work
- Repeatable scoring your agency or company can document and defend
Youth STEM
Building the Next Generation of Aviators
Aviation runs on people who caught the bug early. Our youth programs give students real flight time, real safety culture, and a clear path to a Part 107 certificate at 16.
- One-week summer camps with hands-on flying every day
- 18-week blended semester with Oregon charter schools
- CTE aligned, with standards crosswalked for school partners
Who Can Earn the Remote Pilot Certificate?
The FAA sets the bar, and it is within reach: be at least 16 years old, read, speak, write, and understand English, pass a TSA security background check, and pass the FAA Part 107 knowledge test. We handle the training. The FAA issues the certificate.

Straight Answers
Questions, Answered Honestly
Who can take the FAA Part 107 exam?
You must be at least 16 years old, able to read, speak, write, and understand English, and physically and mentally able to operate a small UAS safely. You will also pass a TSA security background check as part of the certification process, then take the knowledge test at an FAA-approved testing center.
I have never flown a drone. Is this academy for me?
Yes. The academy assumes zero flight time. The course builds the knowledge in a deliberate order, and Practical Flight Instruction builds stick skills separately on the NIST obstacle course, so brand-new pilots and experienced operators both leave sharper.
What changed on the exam in October 2026?
From October 26, 2026, chart questions come from live sectional charts rather than the figures in the testing supplement, so reading an unfamiliar chart is now a core test skill. Under the current PSI blueprint, Regulations also account for 48 percent of the exam. The Flight Lab and Chart Reading Lab were built specifically for this format.
Which course format should I choose?
Choose the two-day workshop if you learn best in a room with instructors and peers. Choose the online academy if you need to train on your own schedule from anywhere. Either way, join the free Skool community first: it is the fastest way to see the material, meet the instructors, and catch exam updates.
Do you train agencies, companies, and schools as groups?
Yes. Public safety agencies, utilities, and companies train as cohorts, and our 18-week blended semester runs with Oregon charter schools under Career and Technical Education. For group training, write to fly@quantumdynamics.co and we will scope it with you.
