Data Bytes - sUAS (Drone) Flight Safety and Best Practices for the use of sUAS in Research Applications

Call them what you like - unmanned air vehicles, uncrewed aircraft systems, or drones - autonomous aircraft open up new possibilities for gathering data, both through remote sensing and in-situ observations. This workshop will outline rules of the road for using drones, including both campus policies and federal regulations, as well as providing details of campus resources for building, modifying, and flying drones for research or other uses. Beginning with various applications, we will provide basic guidelines for operating safely and legally, then end with resources for students and faculty.
