00:00.122 --> 00:02.789
(engine buzzes)

00:03.700 --> 00:06.140
- [Justin] So this is the UAS Operations

00:06.140 --> 00:11.130
and planning course, day
two, daytime flights.

00:11.130 --> 00:13.710
So basically, the students are going

00:13.710 --> 00:16.730
through the process of
pre-flight procedures

00:16.730 --> 00:20.680
and getting a hand on launching the bird,

00:20.680 --> 00:23.180
getting to figure out
how to use the joystick,

00:23.180 --> 00:26.330
see how the bird is impacted by that wind.

00:26.330 --> 00:29.683
Bring it in, good
recovery, and then swap it.

00:31.210 --> 00:32.840
So it's four weeks long.

00:32.840 --> 00:34.400
One week of classroom.

00:34.400 --> 00:36.837
We cover everything they need to know

00:36.837 --> 00:38.980
for the entirety of the course.

00:38.980 --> 00:43.090
Week two is daytime flights,
Monday through Friday.

00:43.090 --> 00:45.090
Week three is nighttime.

00:45.090 --> 00:46.850
So it's basically a
duplicate of everything

00:46.850 --> 00:49.330
from daytime week, just all at night

00:49.330 --> 00:50.600
with the lights out.

00:50.600 --> 00:54.370
And week four is final training exercise

00:54.370 --> 00:56.430
followed up with graduation.

00:56.430 --> 00:58.110
- Okay, number two.

00:58.110 --> 00:59.723
GPS transmitter on.

01:01.820 --> 01:03.970
- [Justin] This class
is doing extremely well,

01:03.970 --> 01:05.230
especially because

01:06.600 --> 01:08.480
there's pretty much zero experience,

01:08.480 --> 01:10.680
UAS previous experience across the board.

01:10.680 --> 01:13.560
Some of them have played
with various quad copters

01:13.560 --> 01:15.146
in the past, but nothing,

01:15.146 --> 01:16.840
it's all personal use.

01:16.840 --> 01:19.900
So they are literally learning

01:19.900 --> 01:21.573
from scratch,

01:23.000 --> 01:24.970
which in turn they don't have any

01:24.970 --> 01:26.890
bad muscle memory, any bad habits.

01:26.890 --> 01:28.790
They don't think they
already know the system.

01:28.790 --> 01:30.950
So they actually listen and receive

01:30.950 --> 01:32.740
every little piece of information

01:32.740 --> 01:33.963
that we dish out.

01:34.809 --> 01:37.726
