Aviation Maintenance School to Offer Unmanned Aircraft Systems Courses
This two day course will expose students to key aspects of the Unmanned Aircraft Systems industry with a focus on the operator role and mission. This course is designed to help students obtain their operator certificate from the Federal Aviation Administration.
The Aviation Institute of Maintenance (AIM) announced today the new Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) training for two of its locations; Chesapeake and Manassas. The announcement came as a response to the growing regulations set forth by the FAA in regards to commercial use of Unmanned Aircraft.
The Aviation Institute of Maintenance UAS training will prepare students to take the FAA UAS aeronautical test, or recurrent test for former military UAS operators, which would allow them to obtain their operator certificate from the FAA. Test fees are included in the cost of the training. Scheduled class dates include:
Manassas - September 24 - 25, 2016
Manassas - September 30 - October 1, 2016
Chesapeake - October 15 - 16, 2016
Chesapeake - October 22 - 23, 2016
For more information, contact Brian Yeck (admdiramm(at)aviationmaintenance(dot)edu) for Manassas training and Rosetta CiConta (admdiramn(at)aviationmaintenance(dot)edu) for Chesapeake.

Featured Product

3D Vision: Ensenso B now also available as a mono version!
This compact 3D camera series combines a very short working distance, a large field of view and a high depth of field - perfect for bin picking applications. With its ability to capture multiple objects over a large area, it can help robots empty containers more efficiently. Now available from IDS Imaging Development Systems. In the color version of the Ensenso B, the stereo system is equipped with two RGB image sensors. This saves additional sensors and reduces installation space and hardware costs. Now, you can also choose your model to be equipped with two 5 MP mono sensors, achieving impressively high spatial precision. With enhanced sharpness and accuracy, you can tackle applications where absolute precision is essential. The great strength of the Ensenso B lies in the very precise detection of objects at close range. It offers a wide field of view and an impressively high depth of field. This means that the area in which an object is in focus is unusually large. At a distance of 30 centimetres between the camera and the object, the Z-accuracy is approx. 0.1 millimetres. The maximum working distance is 2 meters. This 3D camera series complies with protection class IP65/67 and is ideal for use in industrial environments.
