FAA PART 107 TRAINING

PART 107 TRAINING for FAA COMPLIANCE/COMMERCIAL FLIGHT

Drones use for Survey, Construction, Inspection, and Public Safety are all “commercial flight” activities. The Federal Aviation Administration requires a Pilot Certificate for any commercial flight operation with a UAS/Drone.

As a total solutions provider, KukerRanken provides training for the FAA Part 107 certificate requirements, with a special focus on how these rules apply to the channels we serve. Our attendees are successful in taking the FAA Part 107 test, and its recurrency requirements (every 24 months).

Our classes are provided over Zoom/Video streaming, with a live proctor.

Each attendee receives a training guide, the FAA Airmens Knowledge Testing Supplement, and other documents from our training program, providing the best pathways to a successful Part 107 test result.

Our courses are held over two days (typically a Thursday/Friday) beginning at 8 a.m. PST and finishing at 4p.m.

KukerRanken Training

KukerRanken offers training in Hardware, Software, and application-specific best practices. KR believes an informed customer is more productive. In addition to our 24/7 support phone/text lines, we offer training for individuals or groups, ensuring cost-effective, optimal workflows for any survey or AEC (Archetectural, Engineering, Construction) organization.
KukerRanken is dedicated to customer service, and without understanding equipment, software, workflows, and best practices, our customers may not be working at optimal efficiency.

Training may take place on-site, online, or at one of our KukerRanken store locations. Software-based training is typically provided on-line, while we remain flexible and are able to visit company offices, jobsites, or local locations. Our Mountlake Terrace store offers multi-desk classrooms, projector, large screen televisions, and a broad assortment of equipment and specialists to ensure an effective, efficient, and ensured understanding of equipment, related software/hardware/workflows for our customers.

Greer PD learning Pix4D for Accident Scene Reconstruction

Pix4D for Public Safety Training

Pix4D FOR PUBLIC SAFETY TRAINING

Public Safety users of Pix4D benefit from training specifically focused on Public Safety application of the software. Different than generalized training (which misses many of the nuances and processes required for Public Safety users), focused training provides greater confidence and competency when working with Pix4DMapper. Additionally, chain of custody, CJIS-compliance, placing checks in the data capture process to create a solid data capture and analysis background, Public Safety is unique in its use of Pix4D and other analysis and modeling tools.

SMG training for Pix4D focuses on the needs of the specific vertical use. Officers, firefighters, arson investigators, detectives, CSA’s, and other public safety users of the software will find familiar language, datasets, and workflows which are common, comfortable, and consistent with other training events and exercises found in public safety programs.

TWO DAY TRAINING:

Online or in-person

In our two day training course, attendees will learn all aspects of importing, calibrating, processing, and archiving data, as well as best practices for transporting the scene datum to other internal departments and external share of data. Attendees will use data sets (supplied by SMG) relevant to public safety practices (arson, traffic, homicide), ensuring the scenarios are familiar and relevant.

Attendees will learn to properly file and label data (Pix4D transports best with a specific file structure), import data to Pix4D, properly select coordinate datums, and set up the project. Verification of data capture, how to retrieve flight verification, and ensure an entire area was properly captured, and prep for processing are all part of the first day of training.

Once the project has been set up for processing, attendees will learn the most efficient methods of prepping the data for best-practices deliverables, storing quality reports as part of the case file, and understanding process documentation.

DAY ONE TRAINING:

Setting up folders per case/scenario
Transferring and backing up data
Learning the interface
Understanding Import of Data
Refining project settings after import

DAY TWO TRAINING:

- Understanding measurements in the point cloud
- Understanding areas in the point cloud
- How Models assist viewing, and Orthos for measurement
- Cleaning the point cloud/denoising a point cloud
- Outputting a Mosiac
- Modifying/cleaning the mosiac
- Creating deliverables for local and cloud delivery
- Storing/archiving all data relevant to the project
- Exporting to other software tools
- Trouble-shooting output/deliverable issues

THREE DAY TRAINING:

Online-only, blended Online/In-person, or In-person

Our most popular offering, the three-day course provides live flight training to officers and CSA personnel.

Live flight training instructs the proper spin-up of the flight, ensuring data is cleanly captured on the first flight, with a focus on both overall scene capture for investigators, as well as data capture for measurables, evidence, and clean deliverables. In this course, attendees will also learn to co-operate remotely piloted aircraft with cell phone photos, crime scene photos, ground-based elements and other data capture. Upon completion of this course, pilots should be confident and competent in the planning and execution of flight for clean, quality-driven data capture, and processing of images for photogrammetry and point cloud delivery in various formats.

DAY ONE TRAINING:

Assessing the scene (safety)
Risk mitigation
Determining environmental impacts on data capture (wind, rain, night time, mid-day)
Camera settings for optimal capture/Setting up the camera for manual capture
Best practices for camera use
