Get best practices on flying these small aircraft

The goal of the course is to provide a basic framework for where and how to fly drones. Users at all levels — beginners to experts — will benefit from the course.

hortonHorton said his course will cover best practices, drone registration and policies surrounding drone flight.

“Drones are so popular now, and affordable. The issue is that if you fly them without the proper knowledge, you can cause some serious problems. They are not like the remote controlled air planes we grew up with. These are actual aircraft. People need to know best practices.”

He said drones will be available, so students don’t need to buy or bring their own.

Many class sessions will be spent outside flying drones with local drone expert, Jason Preston of 417Drones.

The course registration code for MED 300 Drones: Taking Flight is CRN 34998. Contact Horton by email for questions or more information.
