sUAS Practical Application and Assessment

Catalog description

Practical application and practice of fundamental knowledge, skills, and abilities (KSA)s of basic to advanced aircraft controls (manual and automatic), checklist and emergency procedures, flight planning, review of platform specific traits, aerial photography and post-flight processing techniques, pilot application, crew resource management, and instructor-student practical assessment. Interactive scenario-based modeling and simulation and actual (live) sUAS tools are used to improve uncrewed airmanship skills in settings supporting incremental exposure, progression, and assessment combined with instructor-guided feedback and practice. Items detailed in the ERAU-Worldwide sUAS Toolkit are acquired at student's expense. Students must be physically located within the U.S. and hold an FAA Part 107 Remote Pilot Certificate while participating in the UNSY 435 course. A mandatory two-day residency program with associated practical training and travel requirements is required. A personal sUAS is required at student's expense to fly during the course.
