The Unmanned Safety Institute (USI), the world-leader in remote pilot training and certification, will be hosting the 2nd annual UAS Safety Standdown in Denver, Colorado on Tuesday, May 1st, in conjunction with AUVSI Xponential. The topic of this year’s workshop will be “Organization Flight Operations, Maintenance & Safety Quality Management.”
The UAS Safety Standdown is a one-day workshop that gives the aviation community a unique opportunity to enhance their knowledge and understanding of UAS aviation safety and risk management. The workshop gives individuals and organizations of all sizes the opportunity to gain critical understanding around the concepts of safety, the role of managing risk, and organizational decision-making, enabling them to operate their UAS enterprise with an elevated level of safety.
The workshop offers program topics on UAS program management, designing manuals and documentation (e.g. SOPs, ERPs, etc.), safety risk management, remote pilot training & certification, UAS preventative/conditional maintenance, and industry standards & best practices. This one-day workshop culminates in a UAS Safety Endorsement from USI and participants who attend this workshop will also earn education credits towards USI's Professional Remote Operator (PRO) certification.
Session topics for this year’s UAS Safety Standdown include:
- •Functional sUAS Management Hierarchy & Organizational Structure
- •sUAS/UAS Manuals & Documentation: What, Why, and How Much Matters?
- •sUAS/UAS Safety Risk Management: A Comprehensive Solution for Organizational Operational Scaling
- •SUAS/UAS Remote Pilot & Maintenance Tracking
