Aviation Publishers is pleased to announce the availability of its latest updated title: Unmanned: Textbook for RPAS Studies, 3rd Edition.
The aviation sector for unmanned aircraft is continuing to proliferate. Remotely Piloted Aircraft Systems (RPAS) are finding ever-more useful functionality across the skies, further expanding the domains of private and commercial operations. Unmanned: Textbook for RPAS Studies, continues to share this evolving aviation category with its readers. Large and small, heavy and light, RPAS are a constantly developing breed of aircraft with broad and multifaceted applications. Their pace of development continues to be swift and expansive with regulatory oversight of their operations now taking precedence with authorities.
To better reflect changes abounding throughout the industry, Unmanned, 3rdEdition has been updated ever-more so over the title’s first two editions. Significant new content has been added to match expanded rules set out withinTransport Canada’s Knowledge Requirements for RPAS up to 25 kg operating within Visual-Line-of-Sight (VLOS). Detailed new technical content has been added with greatly enhanced focus on multi-rotor RPAS, as well as on protocols and considerations on how best to safely and efficiently operate RPAS of all configurations.
Expanded content within Unmanned can be found within: Evolution of RPAS, Regulations & Authorities, Components of Fixed-wing and Rotary-wing RPAS, Flight Command & Control, Flight Operation Pilots & Crew, Situational Awareness, Types of RPAS Operations, Physics of Multi-rotor Flight, Payloads, Power Sources, Launch & Recovery, Special Flight Operating Certificates, Mission Planning, Fixed Wing RPAS, and Rotary Wing RPAS. And very much more. Based on its parent publication, From the Ground Up from which it shares content, Unmanned also offers new material within subject areas that RPAS operators must know to meet regulatory requirements to fly their systems legally in Canada. These subjects include: Theory of Flight, Aerodromes & Airspace, Aviation Weather, Air Navigation, Radio, Flight Operations, and Human Factors. Unmanned concludes with a comprehensive description of the Canadian Aviation Regulations governing the operation of RPAS in Canada. An RPAS Flight Review Preparation Guide appears as an Appendix and a Practice Exam remains as a concluding Appendix of the title.
Aviation Publishers has updated this title to further strengthen and consolidate its broad use within the training establishment of the continually emerging and evolving RPAS industry across Canada.
