The drone market is helping government agencies and academies to reinvent the aeronautical world. The advancement of drones implies a growing need for designers and pilots to acquire specialist knowledge and skills in the field. It is not the same to fly an amateur drone as it is to fly a high-value drone for specialized operations. That is why this intensive specialization is so necessary, as it will facilitate the training of professionals who are specialists in drones.

With this in mind, the professionals at TECH have designed this very complete advanced master’s degree that aims to train students in the Design and Piloting of Drones so that they acquire complete and transversal skills to work optimally in this sector. Thus, this educational program will cover the contents and techniques of unmanned aircraft flight in different professional scenarios across the world, as well as the technical aspects involved in their design and assembly.

Likewise, during the specialization, professionals will learn both operational and safety aspects. In this regard, the student will learn more about the institution that holds aeronautical authority: The Aviation Safety Agency. In this regard, we will delve into the ways to facilitate compliance with the regulations in force, through acceptable means of compliance. In the same legal section, the specific regulations of different Latin American countries such as Chile, Colombia and Mexico will also be addressed.

In the same way, throughout the specialist course, there will be a study and analysis of meteorology, which provides specific knowledge for safe flights: An essential part of aeronautics. In this sense, the student will have the opportunity to learn how AEMET works. This is the State Meteorological Agency that provides pilots with aeronautical information in the form of forecasts that serve to ensure the viability of the flight. In this regard, two specific documents will be analyzed: The Guide to Meteorological Services for Air Navigation and the Aeronautical Meteorological Information Guide.

If you are looking for a quality specialization that will help you to specialize in one of fields with most professional opportunities, then this is your best option”
