Providing Risk Management and Flight Training Solutions for Unmanned Aircraft System Operations
Parsippany, New Jersey – Global Aerospace, Inc., announces that through their partnership with Unmanned Safety Institute (USI), they have made available a Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) manual for small UAS operations. The Visual Line of Sight SOP outlines general operating procedures for an Unmanned Aircraft System (UAS) and will be made available to qualified Global Aerospace customers. USI is a subsidiary company of Global’s SM4 program partner, Waypoint Global Strategies.
Through the SM4 program, Waypoint and USI provide Global’s UAS customers with discounted consulting and data analytics services and access to flight training. USI has developed an SOP that will serve to further enhance our SM4 program by providing an industry leading resource to Global’s customers.
“Standard procedures are the foundation of safe operations,” said Alex Mirot, President at USI. “We are excited about offering this SOP manual to Global Aerospace customers as a way to promote safety and reduce errors.” USI offers their clients customized workshops, assistance in drafting and adopting policy and procedures, risk assessment and management, safety assurance, as well as safety promotion.
Chris Proudlove, Senior Vice President, Team Leader, Complex Risks at Global Aerospace stated, “Global Aerospace continues to develop products and tools for the rapidly growing sector of UAS. This comprehensive manual will provide an excellent resource for operators of small UAS.”
Chris commented further, “With the release of the NPRM, the FAA’s position is becoming clear for operators of small UAS: they will need to act responsibly and receive training. Our partnership with Waypoint /USI enables us to deliver industry leading services to help our customers achieve these goals.”
