Northland College and NCATT collaborate on UAS program.

Northland Community and Technical College is collaborating with the National Center for Aerospace and Transportation Technologies (NCATT) to develop a new certification standard for Northland’s world-class unmanned aerial systems maintenance program. NCATT is recognized by the aviation industry for its authority in the certification of avionics, radio communications, and navigation.

A standard has not yet been established specifically for Unmanned Aerial Systems maintenance training. Northland College is working closely with NCATT to develop this standard, which will be offered to all aviation schools across the nation. Northland has taken the lead to become the first civil entity to create maintenance-training curriculum for unmanned aircraft, along with the national standard.
