Basics and Prerequisite for micro-UAS - UN C4ISR Academy for Peace Operations

It should be noted that this prerequisite will not be reviewed during the course but used as a basic knowledge necessary to be able to follow the course and obtain the "micro-UAS telepilot" certification. We strongly encourage volunteers to invest in this e-learning course in order to be able to take the quiz that will determine the selection of candidates The aim of sharing the online material is to initiate you into the basic understanding of aviation related topics as well as specific details of the micro drones which you will be handling during the course.

Abstract

The important sub-topics which need your attention and will assist you during the course are enumerated below :

Unit no.	Unite Titles
1	Theory of Flight
2	Air Navigation
3	Air Space
4	Human Factors
5	DJI Mavic 2 Enterprise Dual System Manual.
6	Aeronautical Primer

 

1.            Theory of Flight

               (a)          Forces acting on an Aircraft. Page 1 to 8.

               (b)          Axis of an Aircraft (Pitch, Roll and Yaw). Page 12.

               (c)          Basic Propeller Principles. Only Page 28.

2.            Air Navigation

               (a)          Aero-nautical Charts. Page 2.

               (b)          Latitude and Longitude. Page 3 to 5.

               (c)           Global Positioning System. Page 30 to 32.

3.            Air Space

               (a)          Entire document, however, focus on different categorization of air space.               Keep in mind, the space you are likely to operate micro – drone(s).

(b)          Please keep in mind – this document is US specific. The Operating Rules / VFR weather requirements etc, are for general aviation and US specific. There is no need to memorize any of it. Just understand the idea / concept of air space.

4.            Human Factors (a & b): these are quite self-explanatory slides. Please go through.

5.            DJI Mavic 2 Enterprise Dual System Manual.

               (a)          Ignore Remote Controller specific information.

               (b)          Understand the characteristics and capabilities of the system.

               (c)           Need not memorize redundant information like height / weight of the drone, but it would be good to register important details like max speed in different mode. Different modes. Number of sensors (for obstacle avoidance).

6.            Aeronautical Primer: Initial few pages (in English).
