Achieving Safer Skies – Enhancing Safety & Visibility in Drone Operations: WATCH AGAIN

Discover the benefits of a standardised, best practice, approach that enables drone operators to elevate safety and gain greater visibility of other operations taking place in their flight area. This informative webinar delves into the various aspects that contribute to the improvement of safety for all air users. With no established standard approach currently in place, we embark on a journey to explore the most effective methods of achieving this vital goal.

During the webinar, we will examine the challenges faced by both uncrewed and crewed aviation, shedding light on the critical areas that demand attention and improvement.

Subsequently, we will provide an insightful overview of the existing UAS (Unmanned Aircraft Systems) training provisions, equipping you with valuable knowledge to enhance your operational practices.

As the webinar reaches its conclusion, we will look at the current market tools and information available. This holistic perspective will empower participants to be part of the creation of a comprehensive view of the skies, fostering safe and compliant flight operations for all.
