This course focuses on hands-on drone operations and flight training, aligning with Part 107 and industry standards. Each lab is designed to build flight skills, reinforce safety protocols, and apply mission planning techniques in real-world environments.
Throughout the semester, I’ve conducted flight tests using platforms like the DJI Mavic 2 Pro, Skydio S2, and others, performing procedures like:
NIST OTL evaluations
Manual proficiency tests
