Course Detail: SUAS-6000 - Airworthiness Certification of Uncrewed Systems [SUAS 6000]
Overview
Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University (ERAU) prepares you to step into the exciting world of Uncrewed Aircraft Systems (UAS) in Airworthiness Certification of Uncrewed Systems. The explosive growth of Uncrewed Aircraft Systems (UAS) across the globe has created expansive growth in the numbers of UAS systems, operators, and pilots across the globe. In prior years, this growth was mostly unregulated and uncontrolled. Much like UAS's bigger brother, manned aircraft, standards and certification efforts are to ensure public safety.
ERAU's Airworthiness Certification of Uncrewed Systems features an in-depth examination of existing airworthiness certification processes and application to the emerging field of uncrewed aircraft systems. Course content explores basic UAS applications, the history of UAS, airworthiness standards, certification organizations, airworthiness requirements, and UAS type certifications. Students complete a Small Uncrewed Aerial Systems (sUAS) certification project of their choosing.
