COURSE DESCRIPTION & AGENDA:

16 hours of classroom and hands-on flight instruction covering the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) sUAS Test Methods - Test Lanes Levels 1-3: Open Test Lane Level 1 - Basic Proficiency Evaluation for Remote Pilots (BPERP-Part 107 qualification); Open Test Lane Level 2 - Maneuvering; Open Test Lane Level 3 - Payload Functionality.

The NIST sUAS Test Methods are an excellent way to add a sUAS pilot flight skills credentialing component to your sUAS program. NIST has created a comprehensive user guide, scoring forms, and apparatus targets that can be printed and placed in the test apparatus buckets. Attendees will learn how to conduct trials, and embed them into their own training and credentialing programs.

Attendees must have their Part 107 license and must be experienced sUAS pilots who want to hone their skills, evaluate sensor systems and/or have a desire to train and evaluate other sUAS pilots. Attendees must bring their own quadcopter style sUAS, capable of at least 15 minutes of flight time, equipped with a camera. Additional sUAS batteries and a battery charging station are also required.

Successful completion of this course will provide you with:

• APSA Open Test Lane (Levels 1-3) Remote Pilot Certificate
• APSA Open Test Lane (Levels 1-3) Proctor Certificate. This will allow you to serve as a proctor for all open test lanes.
