The USAL Science Park hosts the training for drone pilots
09 Oct 2014
At its facilities in the Science Park of the University of Salamanca, Arbórea regularly trains technicians from large international companies to pilot its platform in pioneering industrial applications, such as the inspection of wind turbine blades. Arbórea and its Arachnocóptero also collaborate in the training of military pilots at the UAS school of the Air Force.
The Salamancan start-up participated by Iberdrola and the Spanish State through the CDTI, dedicated to the manufacture, training and operation with SARP, a pioneer in Spain in the training of pilots of what are popularly known as “drones”, both in the civil field as a soldier, has just presented its renewed training line that includes generic pilot training courses
and other specialized ones, of increasing complexity, for specific applications of these systems.
The Arbórea practical school, experienced in teaching operation with remotely piloted aerial systems, focuses its training on the acquisition of knowledge and practical skills for professional operation in emerging market areas such as industrial inspection, cartography, environmental applications or agriculture precision. The experience accumulated since 2008 by the team of technicians, trainers and certified pilots of this company in the design, manufacture and operation with its own Arachnocóptero platform, allows teaching to be approached from a focus on experience, applied knowledge and practical operation. At its facilities in the Science Park of the University of Salamanca, Arbórea regularly trains technicians from large international companies to pilot its platform in pioneering industrial applications, such as the inspection of wind turbine blades. Arbórea and its Arachnocóptero also collaborate in the training of military pilots at the UAS school of the Air Force.
Arbórea’s training criteria are based on personalized learning and excellence. To this end, it has simulators for fixed and rotary wing systems and teaching and operating aircraft of various kinds, which allow progressive learning until being able to handle professional systems with high load capacity capable of flying under very harsh environmental conditions of wind and rain.
Various official aeronautical schools (ATO) from all over Spain collaborate in this training, to complement, through a single coordinated training action, all the requirements of the pilots to operate professionally in an advanced manner, meeting and exceeding the requirements of the recent Spanish regulations on SARP systems. and the guidelines of the AESA Aeronautical Authority. Arbórea offers a complete course in various modules that allow a high level of professional training.
