Unmanned Experts and Transport Risk Management train and insure safe sUAS operators.
Accidents happen, BUT the inset photo shows what happens when an uninsured and untrained civil UAS pilot
in Australia drops an octo-copter on someone’s head, and nothing about this incident was pretty! To try to prevent this
happening elsewhere Transport Risk Management (http://www.transportrisk.com/uavrcfilm.html), a world-leader in aviation insurance provision, has teamed with Unmanned Experts LLC to provide ‘Initial Qualification Training’ (IQT) to Small UAS operators. The initial courseware is online in an e-learning format and includes the following:
