Beyond Part 107

Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS) – BVLOS

Enabling BVLOS Operations – Regulation, Safety Management & Accident Investigation

SCSI offers an industry leading introduction to the world of Beyond Visual Line of Sight unmanned aircraft operations. With the recent NPRM for Part 108, our course has never been more relevant.  Developed in association with the International School of Unmanned & Remotely Piloted Aviation (ISURPA) and based on over 20 years of UAS Industry experience, we will teach you about the requirements of BVLoS flying and the safety management factors to be considered.

Join students from NASA, Boeing, the insurance industry, Regulators and government agency staff from around the globe to study BVLOS Airspace Integration, Detect & Avoid, Safety Case development, Human Factors and Accident Case Studies.

Using a classroom format of lectures, group exercises and case studies, the 4 1/2 day course provides an excellent introduction to Part 108 and the exciting world of Unmanned and Remotely Piloted Air Systems (UAS/RPAS).

Who Should Attend

  • Anyone wishing to conduct BVLoS UAS operations safely.
  • RPAS/UAS crews: pilots, sensor operators and maintainers.
  • Unmanned & Remotely Piloted Aircraft Systems designers.
  • Regulators, air traffic staff and accident investigators

How You Will Benefit

  • You will gain a solid foundation for those seeking to conduct BVLoS Operations or to design or regulate unmanned aircraft systems.
  • You will learn how to develop and implement a robust safety case
  • You will enhance your theoretical knowledge through practical examples and case studies.
  • You will acquire the knowledge to regulate, operate, design or procure UAS.

Course Topics

  • UAS & RPAS regulations
