Learn how to safely and lawfully use this life-saving resource for nighttime public safety operations

Small Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (sUAV) are powerful tools for first responders.  However, nighttime operations add complexity that requires specific training and equipment.  The FAA maintains that an “applicant must assure all required persons participating in the small unmanned aircraft operation have the knowledge to recognize and overcome visual illusions caused by darkness and understand physiological conditions which may degrade night vision.” In this course, students identify night visual illusions and the physiological degradation occurring in darkness, then develop mitigating strategies.  Students use state-of-the-art equipment to perform nighttime UAS operations couched in reality-based public safety mission sets.

Students will:

  • Receive at least six hours as a member of a nighttime UAS flight crew
  • Log at least two hours of flight time.
  • Use thermal imagery equipped UAVs for nighttime operations
  • Use Infrared equipped UAVs for nighttime operations
  • Use white light equipped UAVs for nighttime operations
  • Demonstrate support of nighttime public safety operations
  • Understand the human physiological effects during night operations
  • Identify visual illusions associated with night flying

Designed For Tactical & Operational Support


This course capitalizes on the significant experience of the professional UAV pilots that make up the instructor cadre.  We are fortunate to have public safety UAV experts who are flying advanced missions for their agencies regularly.  They are able to share the latest tactics, UAV platforms, software, and industry innovations because they are operating daily in real-world public safety settings.

The class consists of three days of intensive scenario-based, hands-on, and precision flight training designed to increase piloting skills and to provide students with the ability to operate in all UAS environments.  Students will be exposed to the equipment, tools, and techniques necessary to make their UAS program fulfill the desired mission sets.

We begin by helping students fully realize all of the potential applications of unmanned aircraft and how they may fit their respective agencies.  This provides a clear understanding of the UAS agency objectives so that all efforts directly support effectively implementing the identified mission sets.  The remainder of the curriculum is precision flight and scenario-based exercises. Students fly inside and outside on multiple aircraft types, using infrared, thermal, and self-illumination views.  Guest speakers and prototype UAS equipment are regular additions to this very popular class.  Students leave operationally ready with a deep understanding of UAS applications and capabilities.

Students will:

  • Demonstrate the skills needed to fly BVLOS or FPV (first-person view)
  • Understand and apply techniques for interior operations
  • Operate as direct support for tactical team operations
  • Operate as direct support for investigative operations
  • Examine UAV platform for: Interior, Exterior-high, Exterior-tight, Exterior-persistent
