Level 2 Unmanned Aerial Systems Training and Certification
Welcome to the Level 2 Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS) Training and Certification Program! Building on the foundation of knowledge and skills gained in the Level 1 program, this advanced course is designed to further develop your abilities as a UAS operator.
In this program, you will learn advanced concepts and techniques related to UAS operation, including advanced flight skills, UAS maintenance and repair, and advanced data management and analysis. You will also have the opportunity to practice and demonstrate these skills through hands-on exercises and real-world scenario simulations.
Upon completion of the Level 2 program, you will have the knowledge and skills needed to operate a UAS in a variety of complex and challenging environments, and to effectively manage and analyze data collected by the UAS.
We are excited to have you join us on this journey and look forward to helping you further develop your abilities as a UAS operator. Let’s get started!
Type of License
Mid-Size Unmanned Aircraft Systems (mUAS): These are drones that weigh between 55 and 1,320 pounds (250 and 600 kilograms) and are used for commercial purposes. mUAS operators are required to obtain an Air Carrier Certificate.
Aim
The aim of this Level 2 UAS training and certification course is to provide students with the knowledge and skills necessary to safely and effectively operate an unmanned aircraft system (UAS) in a variety of applications. The course builds upon the foundational knowledge and skills learned in a Level 1 program and introduces more advanced concepts and techniques related to UAS operation and application.
Upon completion of the course, students will be able to:
- Understand the principles and operations of UAS technology
- Plan and navigate UAS flights, including assessing risk and weather considerations
- Perform basic maintenance and repair procedures on a UAS
- Fly a UAS using advanced techniques and autopilot systems
- Collect, analyze, and interpret data from UAS flights
- Understand the various applications of UAS technology, including mapping, surveying, and inspection
- Demonstrate safe and effective UAS operation through a practical skills assessment
Overall, the aim of the course is to provide students with the knowledge and skills necessary to succeed in the field of UAS operation and apply their skills in a variety of professional settings.
Time Table Allocation
