Congratulations! You've finished Lesson 5, Fundamentals of Unmanned Aerial System Operations. You should find by now that you are comfortable with describing different UAS classes, listing UAS system elements, designing a concept of operating a UAS, assessing risk surrounding a UAS operation, understanding FAA regulations, defining the operation criteria for different classes of the national airspace, and understanding the guidelines for UAS flight operations. If you feel that you are not comfortable with any of the previously listed subjects, then you need to review the lessons notes and/or contact me.
Final Tasks
| Task | Description |
|---|---|
| 1 | Complete the Lesson 5 Quiz |
| 2 | FAA Roadmap Discussion Forum: Review the 2013 FAA roadmap document in Canvas. As you may notice, the FAA is serious about integrating commercial UASs into the National Air Space (NAS) starting in 2015. Considering the state of technology in manufacturing small UASs and the lack of Sense-and Avoid instruments on board of such small UASs, do you expect any obstacles in the face of integrating small commercial UASs into the NAS according to the FAA proposed road map (i.e., the FAA may restrict the use of certain sizes of UASs for not being equipped with enough safety features)? Post your opinion on the discussion and respond to at least one peer posted opinion on the subject. The deadline for submission is at the end of Lesson 6; you will have two weeks to participate.
