• SWBAT: Navigate the "Free Flight" checklist

• SWBAT: Develop "Autonomous Flight" skills

• SWBAT: Navigate the "Autonomous Flight" checklist

Key Objectives

This module introduces students to drone flight physics and teaches students how to program drones to fly autonomously. In this module, students will fly drones in the classroom, so they are not required to have a Part 107 license. A TRUST certification is necessary (which should have been obtained in the Regulations Module (Module 3).

Note: Teachers must maintain a current Part 107 license before teaching this module.

• What are the 3 rotational forces that act upon a drone?

  • Roll: Rotation around front-to-back axis
