UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. — Penn State’s Drone Operations Team will celebrate Drone Safety Awareness Day on June 16 from 9:30 to 10:30 a.m. on the HUB-Robeson Center lawn on the University Park campus. The University community, as well as the public, are welcome to attend an in-person session around drone safety.
The session is relevant to drone hobbyists, as well as commercial pilots who already have their Part 107 certification. A variety of topics will be covered, including how you can fly on University property, FAA requirements for drone pilots, and safety measures to prepare for a flight.
Registration is required.
