ADU 01025: Drone Search and Rescue – How to Train a Pilot to Fly a Successful Mission - a podcast by Drone U

Drone Search and Rescue - Standard Training and Operating Procedures

Today's question is about using drone search and rescue. How can you train and adequately prepare a drone pilot to fly a successful SAR mission?



Our caller, Casey is working on implementing a drone search-and-rescue program. For critical missions like these, you must use properly trained drone pilots who will get the job done. So, how can Casey vet a drone pilot and determine if he is ready to fly a SAR mission?



Inexperienced and/or poorly trained drone pilots flying a search and rescue mission can even result in loss of life. In this show, we reveal how Casey can establish standard training and operating procedures for flying a successful SAR mission. You will learn why total flying hours is not truly indicative of a drone pilot's ability to fly such complex missions. Thanks for the great question, Casey. Fly Safe!
