Abstract:

This research was completed to provide recommendations to create a standardized operational framework or pilot training program for Utah Department of Transportation (UDOT) Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) which are used for infrastructure inspections, traffic monitoring, emergency response, and data collection. This will improve safety practices, regulatory compliance, and mission execution. This research addresses the need for a unified UAS operations manual and remote pilot training that ensures safe, efficient, and FAA-compliant drone use across all UDOT divisions.
