Although each mission flown is unique and requires specific focus, there are operational standards implemented in most UAS programs. Regulations, best practices, common safety touchpoints, and standard procedures all form a safety culture whether it’s a one-person or large team operation. During this one-hour session, we’ll describe and demonstrate operational standards to ensure risk are identified and mitigated, ensure quality of data capture, and operate as a professional pilot. Attendees will receive an interactive pre/post flight checklist, with training to understand the use of checklists in an aviation environment.
