Unmanned Aerial Systems Basic Course

Unmanned Aerial Systems Course (Basic)

The course will consist of 12 sessions. Each session will be taught in the classroom, however, the slide deck for that session will be made available immediately following the session. Attendance at the in person classroom session of the online replay of the session is highly recommended.

While the material is not especially complicated it is complex and each session builds upon the previous ones.

Materials required for the readings are provided for you in the DividedSky Aerial Solutions GDrive. This drive is only accessible via an emailed link.

The course will be graded through seven online quizzes (280 points), two simulator practical exercises (200 points), a land navigation practical exercise (100 points) and a final exam (420 points) for a total of 1000 possible points. Students must achieve a minimum of a 70% on each graded activity and therefore a cumulative grade of at least 70% of the points possible. For each activity that a 70% is not achieved the student will be given the opportunity for a retest.

This course is a requirement for all DividedSky Aerial Solutions employees that will be involved with flight operations of the UAVs/UASs. Successful completion of the course will allow you to begin working as a safety officer during flight operations.

Follow on courses include advanced flight operations, maintenance and repair operations, and camera operator certification.

Enjoy the course!

Sincerely,

Todd Boward
