Implementing a Drone Program for Crash Reconstruction: What You Need to Know (VoD)   

Print Course Description Download Registration Form

Operating Drones (UAS) for crash and crime scene mapping requires a remote pilot certificate from the FAA (Part 107) or a COA (Public Safety Only). Understanding the rules and procedures to operate in different types of airspace with the proper waivers/authorizations can be overwhelming at times but is necessary to operate safely and in accordance with all FAA regulations. In this Video on Demand, Mark DiCocco (Forensic Mapping Solutions) will explore the basics of starting and operating a UAS program.

Topics Include

  • Starting and operating a UAS program
  • Obtaining an FAA Remote Pilot Certificate
  • Registering your UAS with the FAA
  • Obtaining controlled airspace authorizations and waivers
  • Obtaining Part 107 waivers (flying at night, etc.)
  • Airspace 101 (what you need to know)
  • Best practices for crash scene mapping using your UAS
