UAS Instructor Course

 

The UAS Instructor Course is designed to prepare Insitu trained UAS Operators or Maintainers to instruct all facets of our system (UAV, GCS, and GSE).  The Instructor Course will qualify an Operator or Maintainer who has achieved the requisite amount of experience with the UAS to teach and certify individuals in all aspects of the operations or maintenance of the system.  This is accomplished though academic’s training (lesson plan construction, building presentations, and Fundamentals of Instruction training) and student teaching with students attending our Basic Operator course and maintenance courses throughout each phase of training (academics, simulation, maintenance, and flight training).

 

This course runs approximately 4 weeks and has three general areas of study:

 

  • Academic Study and Practice Teaching  - The academics portion of the training program focusing on topics to include: Classroom Instruction, Student/Group Assessment, Area Preparation, Media, Courseware Development,  
  • Simulation/Lab Study and Practice Teaching  - The  Simulation/Lab portion of the training program focusing on topics to include Operations, Employment, Tactics, Pre-flight, In-flight, Post-flight, Emergency Procedures, Sensors, and Maintenance.
  • Flight Training and Practice Teaching  - The flight portion of the training program focusing on topics to include Operations, Employment, Tactics, Pre-flight, In-flight, Post-flight, Emergency Procedures, Sensors, and Maintenance.

 

Qualifying individuals as instructors can be accomplished in 4 weeks time.  If gaining the ability to accomplish initial qualification training is desired, the individual is required to remain to accomplish the formal course (Basic Operator [8 weeks] or Maintenance II Course [4 weeks]) from beginning to completion.  Individuals accomplishing the training will be recognized to accomplish initial qualification training.

 

Students should be prepared for simulator, maintenance and flight evaluations as well as a proctored written exam, similar in style to an FAA written exam comprised of topics covered throughout academic and simulator training. 

 

10 classes are offer at our facility each year. We also offer training services at your location. For more information on this course or to register, please contact your dedicated Insitu Program Manager.
