UAS 04 – Human Factors in Drone Operations
Course Outline
Course description:
Target Learner: Individuals wishing to obtain a comprehensive knowledge of drone operations, drone systems, components and parts, navigation, the effect of different weather conditions on drones and the regulations applicable to operating a drone safely.
Since regulations regarding the operation of drones vary substantially from country to country, this series of courses is extremely comprehensive, and covers every aspect of V-LOS (Visual Line-Of-Sight) drone operations.
‘Human Factors’ is the study of human performance and human error. This course is designed to broaden knowledge of human factors for UAS (Unmanned Aircraft System) pilots, the specific challenges they may face, and the typical errors that may occur in UAS Operations.
Knowledge of our human machine is very important and will enable us to perform the multi-functional tasks required in the safe operation of unmanned aircraft systems.
