RPAS have been dominating the press for quite some time. Mostly, however, from a military perspective. RPAS are a new airspace user and civil use is growing very fast. The objective of this course is to inform participants of what an RPAS is, how they work, and what are the obstacles to safely integrating them in all airspace classes.

The course takes an ATM perspective. Although the course is accessible to a wider audience, a basic knowledge of ATM would be an advantage. The new types of operations at very low level (VLL), below 500ft, are also explained and all aspects of ATM are addressed, as RPAS integration will impact all of them.
