As the unmanned aerial systems (UAS) industry continues to evolve dynamically, the benefits of gaining an education specific to UAS have become apparent.

 

Students will learn how to build and program quadcopters capable of various autonomous missions. These include structure scans, roof inspections and other missions that mimic industry. They will also utilize video editing and mapping software with footage captured from different types of cameras.

 

Instruction combines classroom and flying exercises using multiple drones and airplanes to familiarize students with classroom and aviation standards included in the (FAA) Part 107 Exam.  

 

This program provides students with the necessary information to successfully complete the Federal Aviation Administration's (FAA) Part 107 Exam. This certificate, along with completion of proper FAA paperwork, allows students to operate a small unmanned aerial system (UAS or "drone") for business purposes.
