About the event
Practical Drone Pilot Course
Learn to select a new UAV equipment, see the variants in each industry (vertical), use of applications to prepare the flight plan, risk management, configuration of the UAV with its remote control, know the maps with its controlled airspace and not controlled, regulations for sUAS based on 14 CFR Part 107, manual use of the camera for photo or video exposure, practical exercises to request authorizations and their first flights for telemetry management with sUAS movements.
Introduction
This course presents the new trends with drone technology, learn about its benefits, learn to select a new UAV equipment according to the services it will offer, evaluating its return on investment, manage administrative application, use of applications for flight plans, configuration of the equipment, use of the remote control, manual use of the camera, practical flight exercises, downloading files for basic photo or video editing via your mobile, finding out about job opportunities and developing your business. Prepare several preflight assessments, safety management risk and hazard assessments, to request authorizations or waivers and flight techniques of the sUAS. As an added value, they join the Interactive Community for more education and follow-up workshops.
Purpose
It is a course where participants meet virtually and face-to-face as an interactive community to select a location, determine feasibility and plan a flight using the best mobile applications. It includes practical configuration exercises to apply techniques with flight routines, configure your manual camera to create creative photographic and video content to show through social networks, messages, blog and Internet portals.
