Students learn how to operate unmanned aircraft systems

A450 Basic remote pilot course. DOI Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) Training Department of Interior UAS training program goals: To develop professional Remote Pilots that can support the Department's varied aviation missions and incident management objectives. DOI has employed aircraft in support of Interior missions for over 50 years. The goal of the DOI UAS program is to incorporate UAS into DOI’s government-owned and commercially contracted aircraft fleet to support DOI missions for which UAS may be better suited than manned aircraft, achieving superior science, safety, savings.
