Kansas State University & Wildlife Dept. Partners To Learn UAV Operation

Kansas State University Polytechnic Campus partners with Kansas Department of Wildlife, Parks and Tourism to send some of their employees and law enforcement officers to attend UAS Commercial Remote Pilot Training and be eligible to sit for the FAA exam to become certified remote pilots. "We're extremely proud to be selected as the UAS training provider for the Kansas Department of Wildlife, Parks and Tourism," says Kurt Carraway, executive director of Kansas State Polytechnic's Applied Aviation Research Centre. "The UAS training will help our law enforcement officers ensure safety across the state by being able to conduct search-and-recovery efforts more efficiently with UAS," says Susan Steffen, fisheries biologists for the Kansas Department of Wildlife, Parks and Tourism.
