Synopsis

Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) is the future of aviation. Its application in both the civil and military context has grown significantly over the past decade. UAS are designed to suit various purposes and their principle of operations differ. As the UAS share the skies with manned aircraft, operators and pilots require knowledge that will enable the safe conduct of the flight. Students will gain an understanding of these principles, laws and requirements to operate UAS safely in Singapore.
