Embry-Riddle Worldwide, in partnership with Drone World Expo 2016, will hold an all-new, one-day, hands-on course as a pre-event workshop at Drone World Expo on Monday, November 14 at the San Jose Convention Center.The workshop features an overview of sUAS designs, regulations–including the just-released FAA Part 107 rule–community-based guidelines and safety practices and operational planning and risk management. Participants will practice through interactive use of modelling and simulation tools and hands-on multirotor flying in the Drone World Expo demonstration area on November 15 and 16.
They will gain exposure to essential aeronautical knowledge and experience with regulatory requirement compliance and application of best practices, as applicable to commercial and functional operations. Through the successful completion of this course, operators will better understand and practice the requirements for appropriate use, acquire and register a personal multirotor sUAS and they will gain critical operational experience with an actual system.
An optional drone platform will be available for an additional fee, but is not required for the course.
