This course is available online with a required Practical Flight Assessment (PFA) scheduled at a later date. Students must complete all recertification academic requirements by the last day of the course. Level 3 certification provides standards for operating in "safety critical" areas, such as near chemical, oil, gas or nuclear facilities, an extended line of sight, pipeline, power line, and cell tower inspections.
