A drone only helps on the fireground when the information reaches command clearly and the aircraft stays out of the way of the operation. This course focuses on turning aerial imagery and thermal data into usable incident information.
Fire departments and public safety UAS teams that already understand Part 107 and need to apply the aircraft to real fireground decision-making. The focus is not basic flight instruction. It is using aerial information in a way that supports command without creating another problem in the airspace.
Two days and sixteen hours combining classroom instruction with scenario-based field work. The course is built around structure-fire size-up, thermal interpretation, command coordination, and operating discipline around an active incident.
The host agency provides a classroom and an appropriate training area for the field portion. Students should hold a current FAA Part 107 Remote Pilot Certificate and bring the aircraft and support equipment they expect to use operationally unless other arrangements are made before class.
Final field scenarios and class size are matched to the training site, available aircraft, and host-agency objectives.
$499 per student. Host the course at your agency and receive two free seats in addition to the seats you pay for.
Bring fireground UAS training to your agency and train with the equipment your crews actually use.
