Other than reviewing the regulations governing small unmanned aircraft systems (sUAS) operations and considerations for safe flying, we explore the exciting present and emerging trends of sUAS applications across various industries. - [sUAS Ground School](https://www.ncatech.org/courses/suas-ground-school/) - This course prepares professionals to operate small UAS in business environments. Participants will be prepared to take the Federal Aviation Administration Remote pilot operator exam and meet the minimum credentials for commercial operations. Passing the FAA Remote Pilot Operator exam provides a license to learn and this session is the first step in the process. ## Categories - [Event](https://www.ncatech.org/category/event/) - [Resources](https://www.ncatech.org/category/resources/) -
