Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) 101: Fundamentals and Regulations, Exams of Nursing

A comprehensive overview of the fundamental concepts and regulations surrounding unmanned aircraft systems (uas), also known as drones. It covers key topics such as uas classification, payload types, control systems, airspace regulations, and the integration of uas into the national airspace system (nas). The document delves into the various roles and responsibilities of uas operators, including the remote pilot in command (remote pic), co-pilot/secondary operator, visual observer, and payload operator. It also explores the advantages and challenges of uas technology, as well as the public perception and regulatory landscape. This study guide is designed to provide students with a solid understanding of the uas industry, enabling them to navigate the complex regulatory environment and effectively operate these systems in a safe and responsible manner.
