Cyberhawk Innovations has been selected by the Engineering Construction Industry Training Board (ECITB) to develop industrial training syllabus for UAS operators in the engineering and construction sectors, the company announced on 5 February.
The syllabus of material will include practical flying skills for industrial applications, planning processes, safety management and emergency procedures. All training will be designed to ensure that pilots comply with specific requirements for safely performing complex industrial applications, and create a consistent standard for engineering and construction companies.
Chris Fleming, CEO, Cyberhawk, said: ‘It is extremely encouraging to see the ECITB understand the role UAVs can play in the engineering and construction industries, but also recognise the importance of safely operating these unmanned aerial systems.
‘Our technical experts are global authorities in the industrial use of UAVs and our own internal pilot training scheme is unrivalled within the industry.’
