What You Need to Know Before You Fly
Presentation outline:
This presentation will give industry-business, community leaders and educators a glimpse of what is happening regarding the FAA and Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) developments. We will share new developments as they pertain to Unmanned Aircraft System (UAS) operations and deployment. The use of UASs, commonly known as drones, is growing for business and industry, as well as hobby and leisure activities. This seminar introduces the participant to important aspects of UAS operations, including capabilities, restrictions and safety. The seminar will cover various drone types, applications and “rules of the air” FAA regulations.
