This course begins by introducing students to the basics of drone functions and flying. While learning to fly effectively with and without GPS, students will gain an understanding of the safety and operational requirements necessary to successfully complete the FAA Unmanned Aircraft General test to become fully-licensed drone pilots. In addition to learning to fly drones, students will gain an understanding of how drones can be deployed for commercial use with an emphasis on drone deployment in agriculture. This year-and-a-half course will provide students with opportunities to perfect their flying, study career opportunities with drones, and gain the knowledge necessary to pass the FAA Unmanned Aircraft General test. Independent study of topics, collaboration as part of a drone team, and hands on flight experience will prepare students for the real world of drone operation and the beginning of a career in drones.
