UAS110	Basic sUAS Airmanship	Quick View Course Description close UAS110 – Basic sUAS Airmanship This 1-day (8-hour) course consists of 2 hours of classroom instruction and 6 hours of outdoor flights. Designed for the beginner sUAS pilot, this course will educate someone new to flying a UAS on laws, rules, best practices and recommendations. At our UAS training field on the Texas A&M RELLIS Campus, participants will also perform flight exercises designed to enhance their piloting skills. This will be done using our new, state-of-the-art small UASs. Why take this course? Proficiently flying a UAS may sound and look easy, but it is not. Every UAS pilot crashes at some point. Participants will learn many valuable techniques to help ensure more safe flights.

SAP151	sUAS for Public Safety Personnel	Quick View Course Description close SAP151 – sUAS for Public Safety Personnel According to the Center for the Study of the Drone, it is estimated that the number of public safety agencies with drones has increased by approximately 82% from 2017 to 2018. There are now more than twice as many agencies that own drones as there are agencies that own manned aircrafts in the United States. Public safety personnel are often required to put themselves in harm’s way to serve and protect citizens. Small Unmanned Aircraft Systems (drones) can provide public safety personnel with detailed information so that response teams can make informed decisions. Through the use of drone technology and remote imaging, an individual can assess a situation and plan a response while mitigating any safety concerns for officers and bystanders. This hands-on training provides public safety personnel with critical information and real world skill proficiencies to create safe and proficient remote pilots. With an enhanced focus on field training, individuals will easily transition to more advanced systems and situations. This course provides the student with actual sUAS flight time utilizing a training quadcopter. This course is also designed to prepare operators to successfully pass the remote pilot knowledge test and achieve FAA remote pilot certification. Actual FAA testing must be administered at an authorized Knowledge Testing Center and is NOT included in the course fee. This course meets Texas Commission on Law Enforcement (TCOLE) requirements for TEEX sUAS for Public Safety Personnel course #78053.
