UAS Basic Operator's Course
The UAS Basic Operator course is designed to prepare people with no aviation or piloting experience to successfully operate Insitu’s unmanned aircraft system. New operators learn the nuts-and-bolts of our system through a combination of academic study, simulator use, basic maintenance training, and hands-on flight training.
This course runs approximately 8 weeks and has four general areas of study:
