1:00 PM - 5:00 PM
 

This dynamic 4-Hour HOT class will give students of all skill levels the opportunity to participate in scenarios that demonstrate how Unmanned Aircraft (UA) can be utilized during public safety operations to greatly increase the effectiveness and safety of first responders.  The instructors for this class are all FAA Part 107 licensed public safety UAS pilots with years of experience flying missions for their departments.  Representing multiple states across the US, they bring a diverse and extensive knowledge base to this course.  Students will rotate through stations where, guided by an Instructor, they will operate Unmanned Aircraft equipped with some of the newest technologies including HD zoom and infrared cameras, airborne gas monitoring systems, and video streaming solutions.  In addition to scenario-based stations, the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) UAS team will provide information and instruction as they guide students piloting UA through their performance test course.  These test methods have been incorporated into NFPA 2400:  Standard for Small Unmanned Aircraft Systems (sUAS) Used for Public Safety Operations and provide a means to quantitatively evaluate both UAS and remote pilots.  Whether you are an experienced Remote Pilot from a department with an established program or without any experience and are just considering this technology, this course will provide an excellent opportunity to enhance your skills, network, and obtain valuable information.
