Karen T. Carey & Dan Wakelee Policy on the Use ofUnmanned Aerial Systems
Background • Potential as tools for research and teaching • Design, selection, operation & analyses of sensor data • Cover a range of disciplines including: • Applied Physics, • Computer Science, • Environmental Science & Resource Management, • Mathematics
Procedures • Unmanned Systems Board (like the IRB) • Proposal submitted and approved by the Board • PIs must submit a flight and research plan • Monthly flight logs required • The Board will need to develop procedures to ensure the safe and appropriate operation of the sUAS units
Data Storage and Use • Partner Agencies • Equipment Maintenance and Storage • Applied Physics • 2 shakedown flights • Approved on-campus and non-CI rate with be established • Maintenance of sensors will reside with PIs
Compliance with Applicable Regulations • COA (Certificate of Authorization from FAA)
Flight and Training Procedures • Meet FAA requirements • Airspace Consideration including outdoor/indoor flight • Aircraft Consideration (under 25 lbs., etc). • Pilot/Spotter Considerations • Trainer Considerations • Existing Operating Standards for Model Aircraft
