- Standard Operating Procedures - - How to comply with your COA
- Much more
HANDS ON TRAINING
We travel to your department for two days of hands on classroom and outdoor training. From A to Z, our course will walk you through all the steps required for you department to safely and legally operate a UAV
The FAA requires public agencies who fly drones to have either a COA or FAR Part 107 training.
FAR Part 107
Public Agencies can fly under the new FAR 107 rules. For some agencies however obtaining a COA can provide much more operational flexibility
OBTAINING FAA APPROVAL
Getting your Certificate of Waiver or Authorization
For a public agency to fly a drone (UAV) you must get permission from the FAA by either obtaining a Certificate of Waiver or Authorization (COA) or by certifying your pilots under the new FAR Part 107 rules. The FAR Part 107 rules apply only to civilian aircraft operations. Therefore, if you wish to operate under the new FAR Part 107 rules, you must declare your flights as civilian operations. Flying under FAR Part 107 can be a great option for some departments. However, a COA can sometimes provide additional operational flexibility that is not available under FAR Part 107. For this reason, many departments are still obtaining COAs. Call us up for a free consultation. We'll take a look at the airspace over your jurisdiction and give you guidance on how to proceed in obtaing FAA approval.
Complying with your COA
Once you get your COA you'll be authorized to begin training your pilots for missions. The FAA requires your pilots to be knowledgeable about all the airspace and regulations surrounding drone flying. The FAA is holding drone pilots to the same standards as manned aircraft pilots. Our video series trains your pilots on everything they need to know including:
-Types of airspace
-Drone regulations
-Standard Operating Procedures -Safe flying operations
-How to comply with your COA
Jurisdictional COA
After you have completed training, you can begin using your drone for missions, allowing you to fly your drone inside your departments jurisdiction according to the stipulations laid out in the COA. Our video series trains your pilots on how to comply with you COA to ensure your legally and safely flying your drones

About
UAV
Public Safety
Public Safety UAV Training was founded after realizing the need for formal UAV training, specifically for public safety departments, such as law enforcement, fire departments, DNR, etc.
We bridge the knowledge gap between the public safety world and the aviation world by integrating drones into public safety operations.

Safety
The statistics don't lie. If you don’t have formal training on operating a drone, you will crash. It's only a matter of time. Unfortunately, many public agencies have a poor drone safety record. Many agencies have crashed their drones, sometimes, multiple times. Most crashes can be avoided by learning valuable techniques and by following a good standard operating procedures. This is all laid out in our videos.
Unfortunately, many public agencies around the country have been flying drones in violation of federal and state regulations. Most people are not aware of all the regulations surrounding UAV flying for public entities.
-
Are you aware which type of airspace overlays your jurisdiction?
-
Do you know how to determine when a temporary flight restriction is in effect? How close can you fly to airports or power plants?
-
Can you fly your drone over a freeway or interstate?
These are some of the questions that your drone pilots need to know answers to.
Our course teaches you the history and evolution of FAA regulations, teaching you how to comply and operate within the National Airspace System (NAS).
