This course will examine human factors, airspace integration of UAS, and ground safety protocols as aviation authorities develop new regulations to cover the operation of unmanned aerospace systems. With the UAS sector quickly becoming the fastest growing segment within aviation industry, it is essential that airspace integration occurs without reducing existing capacity, decreasing safety or negatively impacting current operators. SPEAKERS International UAS experts to include representatives from Latin American Civil Aviation Commission (LACAC), Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and International Air Transport Association (IATA). AGENDA The contents of the seminar can be summarized as follows: Safety of flight and UAS integration within national airspace systems; UAS regulation overview; Education, Compliance and Enforcement; Certification of UAS; Future trends affecting the UAS industry; Communicating operating rules.
