    Description
    This lab course provides a hands-on introduction to basic Unmanned Aircraft Vehicles/Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAV/UAS) flight activities. Students practice and optimize essential UAS pilot flight skills by planning and flying simulated for-hire commercial small UAS (sUAS) operations. Flight time in the approved UAV/UAS may be applied toward requirements for both attaining and maintaining Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) flight ratings. This course is intended for students majoring in Aviation Operations or anyone interested in unmanned aircraft flight.
