On April 29th, 2021, Colton Whitney passed the FAA’s Part 107 Pilot’s Knowledge Exam at University of Nebraska in Kearney. This test is the culmination of a year’s worth of learning about drones in Logan High School’s “Intro to UAS” course, which is now in it’s second year of operation. Although it is certainly not a requirement that students take this exam, it is an option that allows students to get their commercial unmanned pilot’s license for flying drones. Colton plans on attending K-State Polytechnic at Salina and majoring in Unmanned Aircraft Systems and Flight Operations. Having already logged many hours of flight time with various types of drones, Colton is fortunate to have a solid knowledge base on which to build. Logan High School is proud to have been able to give Colton this opportunity and would like to thank the Dane G. Hansen Foundation for their generous grant which made starting this drone program a year ago at Logan possible. The “Intro to UAS” class is taught by Mr. Jerrod Hofaker. Best Wishes, Colton, as you begin your coursework this Fall at K-State Polytechnic in Salina! We are proud of you!!!
