Unmanned Aircraft Systems Program Development (UASPD) Course

The goal of the USAPD course is to aid first responders and emergency agencies in the successful development, implementation, and sustainment of a department or agency’s small unmanned aircraft system (sUAS) program. This course provides class participants with the knowledge and tools required for establishing UAS program goals; deciding if an agency is best suited by sUAS operations options under 14 CFR part 107 or operating UAS programs as a public aircraft operation (PAO); requesting waivers and airspace authorizations; and developing standard operating procedures (SOP). This course will provide first responders with an understanding of FAA regulations governing 14 CFR part 107 operations along with
statutory requirements for public aircraft operations. The UASPD course also presents a review of Government agency
UAS program best practices.
