The FAA's Focus Area Pathfinder initiative involves industry partners who are exploring incremental expansion of UAS operations in the national airspace. Pathfinder Focus Area 2 is a collaborative research and development effort between the FAA and PrecisionHawk to enable unmanned aerial system (UAS) operation in extended visual line-of-sight (EVLOS) operations in rural areas. EVLOS is defined as flight of a UAS outside the Pilot in Command’s (PIC) visual range but still within visual range of the pilot to identify encroaching aircraft within the area of operation. The Pathfinder results are expected to have a direct and near-term impact on the FAA’s regulatory stance towards UAS operation in the United States.

When: August 1, 2 or 3 (volunteer's choice). The time commitment is approximately 4-8 hours on one of these days.

Where: Outdoor field site near Gypsum, Kansas (15 minutes southeast of Salina)

What: You can expect to spend one day at the field site, receiving training on the ground control station software followed by field activities. Field activities are aimed at understanding the effectiveness and functionality of assistive technology for air traffic situational awareness. You will not be flying a UAS for this initial set of tests, but it will be an immersive simulation with flight operations in the vicinity. Food, water, and additional details will be provided.

Qualifications: Participants must have a pilot certificate, such as private pilot or remote pilot in command (RPIC). Participants do not need to be KSU faculty, staff, or students, and do NOT need to have any experience flying unmanned aircraft.

If you are interested in being a participant in this study, please answer the following questions and provide your contact information so that the UAS research lab can schedule your involvement. The answers to these questions will NOT exclude you from participation in the study; they are only for observing trends within the data collected.

This research has been approved by the Kansas State University Institutional Review Board (#8341).
