As more and more unmanned aircraft, particularly multi-rotor UAS (drones), take to the skies, operators must have a deeper understanding of applicable regulations, flight maneuvers, missions planning and safe operations in controlled airspace. Northeast Community College will hold a two-day course in June that will instruct participants on the rules of flying a UAS as established by the Federal Aviation Administration.
âIf you fly a drone in the United States, itâs your responsibility as a pilot to understand and abide by the rules, especially if youâre going to be flying it for commercial ventures,â said Brian Anderson media arts – broadcasting instructor at Northeast Community College. âIf you make money off how you use your drone, such as selling photos you take with it, you have to be certified and know the rules of the air.â
