| + | ===== Abstract ===== | ||
| + | The course contains a comprehensive guide for drone operators, including legal part, introduction to the technical problems (as needed for UAV maintenance), | ||
| + | ===== Goals and objectives of the course in terms of competencies and skills ===== | ||
| + | The aim of the course is to provide knowledge on drone operations, their safety, drone maintenance on the user level. Once finished, students may benefit from the following outcomes: | ||
| + | * Be able to understand drone technology in general. | ||
| + | * Be able to understand airspace construction, | ||
| + | * Be aware of the impact of the weather on the operations. | ||
| + | * Understand the impact of human physiology and psychology on the UAV operations and their planning. | ||
| + | * Able to plan ahead to perform safe and secure drone operations in various environments. | ||
| + | * Be able to perform necessary drone maintenance. | ||
| + | * Be familiar with the basics of photography and video recording in the context of both hardware and operations. | ||
| + | * Be familiar with manual training methods (simulations, | ||
| + | ===== Structure and tasks of independent studies ===== | ||
| + | Work is organised into: | ||
| + | * theoretical form, given by the lecturer in the form of multimedia presentations, | ||
| + | * self-study, using the attached workbook, | ||
| + | * practical part using drone simulators in the laboratory room, | ||
| + | * practical part in the laboratory room and outdoor (indoor flying room and outdoor flying). | ||
| + | ===== Course prerequisites ===== | ||
| + | Elementary engineering skills (assembling drone parts for the boxed products, i.e. attaching propellers, charging battery, and so on) is necessary. Good 3D space imagination is needed for safe drone operations. A good sight, naked eye or using correcting glasses/ | ||
