This course is intended to provide beginning operational mission related concepts to remote pilots. It will focus on aspects of manual flight and will allow students to practice flying different drones in a variety of applications. Emphasis will be placed on the ethical, legal and safe use of small Unmanned Aircraft Systems (sUAS) in the National Airspace System.
Students will be grouped together to develop communication, teamwork and leadership skills. Students will meet in a classroom setting to learn many of the topics covered in this course.
Students will also spend a considerable amount of time outside of the classroom, practicing manual flight skills. The instructor will assess the flight skills of the individual students and their ability to work together as a team to accomplish a mission. If the weather is not suitable for flying outside, the students can fly in a larger hangar building at Hampton Roads Executive Airport.
Upon completion of this course, the student will be able to plan and implement sUAS missions to collect data.
