UAV Pilot Training • Three Phases • Phase 1: Ground School • Phase 2: Simulator • Phase 3: Flight Instruction • Course completion certificate 4
Phase 1: Ground School • Checklists – Setup and inventory – Transmitter switch assignments – Preflight – Takeoff – Error Messages – Landing • General characteristics • Dimensions & weight • Motors • Propellers • Electronic speed controls • Wireless links • Fuel/Flight Battery • Flight Parameters • Limitations – Airspeed – Power & Powerplant – Weight – Center of Gravity – Maneuver – Temperature – Weather – Range – Wireless link 5 • Emergency Procedures – Motor failure – Communication failure – Low battery power – GCS failure – Compass calibration error – Fire – Forced landings • Normal procedures – Preflight – Takeoff – Post landing – Aircraft log book – Aircraft maintenance book – Pilot log book • Performance – Flight times & wireless transmission • Weight and balance – CG & Weight • Air Vehicle Systems Description – Fuel/Battery required – Wireless communications • Handling, service and maintenance – Propeller care – Battery care and use – Preventative maintenance
Phase 2: Simulator • Fly fixed wing and rotor wing aircraft • Become proficient using two joysticks. • Practice what is more difficult for you. – Typically when the aircraft is coming or facing towards you because the controls can seem backwards • Practice unusual attitude recovery – Push the joysticks up and together momentarily which will cause the vehicle to snap or spin uncontrollably. Practice recovering from this position. • Practice take offs and landings 6
Phase 3: Flight Instruction • Day 1 – Pre-flight briefing – Manually fly fixed wing UAV • Day 2 – Pre-flight briefing – Manually fly rotor wing UAV (hex/quad/heli-copter) • Day 3 – Pre-flight briefing – Program autopilot – Fly on autopilot 7
Flight Training Centers • Phoenix, AZ • Denver, CO • Sarasota, FL • San Diego, CA • San Francisco, CA • Richmond, VA • Mayhopac, NY • Salt Lake City, UT • Las Vegas, NV • Reno, NV
Process • Go the UVU Website • Pay the fee http://www.uxvuniversity.com/uav-pilot-training-certificate/ • Login credentials for online ground school sent same day • Simulator arrives 3 days later • Accomplish online ground school • Accomplish flight sim w instructor • Schedule 3 days of flight training
Aaron Sochor UAV Basic Flight Training Student has completed a 16 hour ground school, received 10 hours of training in a small UAV flight simulator and 24 hours of flight training . . . ___________________ Gene Payson UAV Flight Instructor
