The students made it to the final round of aviation and aerospace classes! The morning began with a breakfast prepared by Mrs. Jessica. She had a spread of sausage biscuits, ham, egg, and cheese biscuits, apple juice, orange juice, water, and donuts!
Here is what Captain Bennett covered in this lesson plan:
The Introduction to drones: Class day began with an overview of drones, covering the
history, types, and the applications. Students gained a basic understanding of the
technology behind drones and their various components.
Drone laws and regulations: In this section we focused on the legal aspects of drone
operation. Predominately focused on: airspace regulations, and registration
requirements. Students were then transitioned into simulator-based training.
Drone flight and safety: Reiteration covering the fundamentals of drone flight, including
pre-flight checks, take-off and landing procedures, and basic maneuvers in simulator.
Safety practices for both the drone operator and those nearby were emphasized, as well
as emergency procedures in case of technical failures or accidents.
Drone maintenance and troubleshooting: Anticipated consumer drone malfunctions
afforded us opportunity to establish a brief field and lab open discussion. A glimpse of
real world experience was presented when observing normal wear of propellers leading
edges. Lesson was concluded by emphasizing proper maintenance and care for drones.
Topics covered included: battery management, firmware updates, and troubleshooting
common issues.
The students were taught how to safely fly drones. Then, the graduation ceremony took place. Each student received a certificate of completion and a mini drone to take home.
Keep watching for flyers on 2024 workshops, activities, and programs!
