Objectives
The online Drone Digital Ground School aims to deliver comprehensive UAV education through Digital means. The objective of the Drone Digital Ground Course is to refresh and adapt the general aeronautical knowledge of the Trainees to the complex environment of the future UAV crewmember. This Course is based on Aviation Theory and UAV Fundamentals.
Audience & Prerequisites
This course is designed for future UAV pilots or sensor operators who wish to acquire a broad and in-depth knowledge, particularly of the use of MALE UAVs.
A fair knowledge of the English language is a prerequisite (B2 Level). Trainees should also have basic scientific knowledge in the field of calculation and physics in order to be able to understand the scientific notions included in the courses.
