This course was created to equip public safety personnel with essential skills for effective drone operation in tactical scenarios and critical incidents using the DJI Avata. The comprehensive curriculum enables pilots to grow from a basic to an advanced skill level, emphasizing indoor and confined space operations. Participants will become adept at managing the UAV settings and software and gain a deep understanding of the drone’s full capabilities.

Students learn insights, tips, and tricks for operating in GPS-denied environments and will use multiple control methods, including the DJI FPV handheld remote controller, DJI RC Motion Controller, FPV goggles, and remote screens to fly in lit and no-light environments.

Students will:

• Demonstrate precision piloting of the DJI Avata drone
• Demonstrate adjusting Avata settings and software to maximize its capabilities
• Apply techniques for flying in GPS-denied environments
• Demonstrate precision flight in low-light, indoor conditions
• Demonstrate UAV piloting using the remote controller, gesture controller, and FPV goggles
• Explain theoretical knowledge and demonstrate practical skills in real-world public safety scenarios
