The basic concepts of Unmanned Aircraft (RPAS) and flight safety procedures and workflows will begin with photogrammetry from scratch, so that at the end of the course participants will have the necessary knowledge to plan and execute professional RPAS flights and derive their own products as one of the main inputs into geomatics.

The training will last for 30 hours of theoretical and practical work divided into four face-to-face modules, with the option to take it in default mode, and those interested can enter the FCFA page or search their social networks for more detailed information on this.
