Course detail
FEKT-BPC-BPLAcad. year: 2024/2025
The course covers various aspects and applications of unmanned aerial vehicles, providing a set of activities that range from gaining fundamental theoretical knowledge to practising flight formation skills. The theory includes, among other items, key information on UAVs and the related legislation. In this context, the students will learn how to register a drone operator, and they will take an exam in the theoretical topics to qualify for UAV operation in the “Open” mode. The instruction then involves also preparing the participants to earn “Specific” class operating qualifications; discussing pre-flight tasks; simulating drone flights; and outlining the applicability of UAVs. The practical segment of the course focuses on the basic steps that facilitate setting up the flight paths, compiling the communications network to transmit the telemetry data, practising the formations, and utilizing UAVs in real-world applications. The practicals enable the participants to gradually gather the hands-on experience that will later allow them to use drones professionally.
