From infrastructure inspection and crop maintenance to cinematography and package delivery, drones are being used worldwide and in a variety of fields.
In order to effectively pilot drones, proper pilot training is essential. This text helps guide you through what you need to know as you take one of these autonomous systems into the national airspace.
Airspace knowledge, weather conditions, aeronautical decision making and the laws governing drone usage are covered. In addition, camera usage, data collection, maintenance and basic aerodynamics are examined to prepare you for understanding the aircraft and its uses.
The history of unmanned aerial systems as well as a look at where they are going and the ethics surrounding their use in the United States are discussed in this text.
This text looks to be a comprehensive approach to train individuals on the use of drones. The foundation provided in this book will prepare you to take the Federal Aviation Administration's Part 107 UAS piloting certification exam and learn to use these systems effectively for tomorrow's professions.
