What Is It?

Zephyr Drone Simulator now offers virtual certifications!

Our first certification is offered in partnership with the Airborne Public Safety Association (APSA). APSA has developed an APSA-NIST Basic Proficiency Evaluation for Remote Pilot (BPERP) Certificate in accordance with the NIST Open Lane Test Methods for Small Unmanned Aircraft Systems. Zephyr offers a BPERP training scenario and Virtual Certification option, too.
