Recently, the aviation students at Zane Trace High School embarked on an educational journey focused on the operation of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs), more commonly known as drones. Their week began with the successful completion of the TRUST certification, which stands for "The Recreational UAS Safety Test." This test is a newly established requirement for all recreational drone pilots in the United States, ensuring a sound understanding of aeronautical knowledge and safety before taking flight. These students obtained their TRUST certification through the Academy of Model Aeronautics (AMA), an FAA-approved authority for administering the TRUST certification. With their certification in hand, they proceeded to learn the ins and outs of drone operation, starting with basic hovering techniques and progressing to advanced flight maneuvers. Before engaging in hands-on drone activities, the students delved into an exploration of the diverse types of Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) and their extensive applications in today's world and the future. The Aviation class is taught by Sarah Thornton, a satellite instructor for the Pickaway-Ross Career and Technology Center. Not pictured are students Vada Steiger-Ludlum and Jocelynn Simpson.
