Class Description:

With the Covid-19 pandemic suppressing traditional face-to-face classes, APSA and NIST have teamed to offer an online version of the academic portion of the NIST sUAS Standard Test Methods Train-the Trainer Course. NIST sUAS Standard Test Methods provide a turn-key solution to sUAS equipment evaluation and can provide a practical skills evaluation intended to “raise the Part 107 bar” for agencies wishing to certify their sUAS pilots. While lacking the hands-on aspects of an in-person course, the abbreviated course will include briefings on: Overview of NIST sUAS Standard Test Methods; fabrication of test apparatus; test lane layout; and test lane scoring. Information provided in the course will be sufficient to enable participants to start implementing the NIST sUAS Standard Test Methods. A short follow-up session will be held approximately two-weeks after the course to answer any questions and to discuss participant progress in implementing the standards.
