About NC State’s Trusted Operator™ Training Programs: ITRE is an industry leader in the development of UAS capabilities and standards, and works with state, federal and industry partners to integrate uncrewed vehicles into the National Airspace System. NC State’s drone training programs are housed within the Institute for Transportation Research and Education (ITRE), which offers a comprehensive range of transportation education programs. NC State is one of only four institutions of higher education in the US that is certified by AUVSI to deliver all three levels of Trusted Operator™ drone pilot certification. Trusted Operator™ fills the gap between Part 107’s minimally prescriptive operating regulations and a higher level of demonstrated knowledge, flight proficiency, safety and risk management practices that is valued by employers and customers of commercial uncrewed aircraft system (UAS) operators. Trusted Operator™ training, developed by the Association of Unmanned Vehicle and Systems International (AUVSI), provides a certification process for pilots beyond their FAA Part 107.
