Introduction to UAS Fixed-Wing Flight Lab

Catalog description

Provides an introduction to the use of an external pilot (EP) console to control fixed-wing UAS. In the event of a lost communications link, avionics or autopilot failure or other emergency, the external pilot is critical to human-in-the-loop operation of the UAS in effecting a successful recovery of the aircraft. This course develops the skills necessary to ensure students are capable of conducting safe EP operation of fixed-wing UAS during adverse flight conditions.
