AY 21-22 Theme Announced!
Over the 2021-22 academic year, UTA Libraries Drone Club will plan, organize and design a First Person Video (FPV) quadcopter race. There will be two classifications: homemade drones and off-the-shelf drones. Planning begins in September. More information to come!
As of Summer 2021, UTA Libraries offers drones for lending. UTA faculty, staff and students may borrow one of our drones after completing a free training course and supplying a certificate of completion, a drone borrowing application, and a liability waiver.
We presently have three Snaptain S5C quadcopters available. We anticipate adding more variety over the coming year.
At this time, UTA Libraries is not offering FAA-recognized drone training. The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) launched it's own drone safety training network in June 2021, and all recreational flyers must complete the training before flying their drones outdoors. UTA Libraries is not part of the network of official FAA training partners, but we will accept an official training certification from any of the official FAA partner sites. These trainings sites are listed in the link below.
