We think these tips from Kansas State Polytechnic’s UAS program are right on the money! Spencer Schrader, a student in the UAS program and a flight instructor, says “The world of unmanned aircraft, or drones, is still relatively new and some standards in technology either haven’t been set yet or continue to mature. Following fundamental safety precautions can help mitigate deficiencies that could be encountered with the aircraft itself or during flight operations. Safety is a top priority in the UAS courses offered at Kansas State Polytechnic and we’re proud to be able to share this insight with hobbyists to make a positive impact on their flying experience.”
