Drone Licensure and Fundamentals is designed to provide the introductory knowledge and skills students need to operate drones (small unmanned aircraft systems–sUAS) safely and responsibly. The course introduces licensing regulations, safety procedures, federal regulations, identification of effects of weather on navigation, communications in aviation, and critical decision-making processes. Additionally, students will explore the roles and responsibilities of professionals in the industry.
