Learning Outcomes

Participants will gain an in-depth understanding of the technical processes involved in investigating Unmanned Aerial System (UAS) incidents. By the end of the course, learners will be equipped to analyze hardware, software, and operational factors contributing to accidents. This course prepares participants to develop safety recommendations that enhance the reliability and operational safety of UAS technology.

Focus Points

This course covers key elements of UAS technical investigation, including flight data analysis, hardware failure diagnostics, and software malfunction evaluation. Participants will explore the role of human factors, airspace integration challenges, and regulatory compliance. Real-world case studies and forensic approaches to analyzing drone systems are integral components of the course.

Participants

This course is designed for UAS operators, safety investigators, aviation engineers, and regulators. It is also suitable for individuals involved in drone manufacturing and system design. A basic understanding of UAS operations and aviation safety principles is recommended but not mandatory, as foundational concepts will be addressed.
