What is the military?
When comparing a Predator Drone to a DJI Photography Drone, they both share this in common.
What is a remote pilot?
This type of engineer specializes in engineering within the atmosphere.
What is an aeronautical engineer?
This is the language that all pilots must speak when flying internationally.
What is English?
This certification allows aircraft mechanics to work on both the airframe and engines of an aircraft.
What is A&P?
This is the certification a pilot must receive to fly an aircraft with more than one engine.
What is a multi-engine rating?
For civilian/commercial operations, drones must weigh at or less than this amount.
What is 55 lbs?
While some aerospace engineers focus on things within Earth’s atmosphere, there is a type of engineer that focuses on both Earth and space.
What is an astronautical engineer?
This type of air traffic controller is responsible for traffic directly around an airport. They will typically handle departures and arrivals and work in terminal radar approach control facilities (TRACONs)
What is an Approach/Departure Controller?
An aircraft mechanic can attend this type of school for training if they do not want to enlist in the military.
What is a trade school?

What is 40 hours?
To get your commercial drone pilot's license, you must take a written exam issued by this government body.
What is the FAA?
This type of math is invaluable to aerospace engineering. It involves the angles and lengths of shapes such as triangles and circles.
What is trigonometry?
This type of controller directs the movement of aircraft on runways and taxiways.
What is a Tower Controller?
This type of maintenance that aircraft mechanics perform prevents long-term damage.
What is preventative maintenance?
After receiving a commercial pilot's license, there is one higher license a pilot can receive. It is essential to obtain to fly a commercial airliner.
What is an Airline Transport Pilot Certificate (ATP)?
This is the certificate that drone pilots must obtain to work commercially.
What is a Part 107 Remote Pilot Certificate?
This skill allows engineers to write papers and make presentations that others clearly understand.
What is Communication Skills?
In a fast-paced environment such as aviation, having this skill allows air traffic controllers to quickly make effective decisions to keep aircraft safe.
What is Decision Making?
After receiving formal education to become an aircraft mechanic, a student must do this for at least 18 months to become FAA-Approved.
What is on-the-job training?
To become a flight instructor you must have one of the following certifications (state one).
What is a commercial license/ATP?
While aircraft pilots require this type of test, the same cannot be said for drone pilots when obtaining their commercial license.
What is a practical skills test?
This specialization of aerospace engineering focuses on how machines interact with people and how psychological factors affect them.
What is Human Factors?
This is the maximum age a candidate can be to apply for ATC school.
What is 30 years?
This type of mechanic will complete work and service on the airplane's structure and associated systems.
