Although the performance of drones is evolving day by day and their use in various industrial fields has already begun, there is unfortunately no proof that the skills and safety awareness of the pilots and flight controllers who handle them have evolved in the same way.
This is due to the fact that the system for quantitatively evaluating the skills of pilots, which is software, is not yet in place, compared to the system for evaluating aircraft performance, which is hardware.
The technical assurance of safe navigation, which is indispensable for the future implementation of drones in society, must be ensured in terms of both hardware and software.
This paper, from the standpoint of a drone school, focuses on the soft aspects of technical assurance, and introduces drone piloting skill training for firefighters and its evaluation method using NIST sUAV-STM, a standard method for evaluating drone piloting skills that originated in the United States and is now being adopted in the firefighting and disaster prevention field in Japan. The presentation will focus on drone piloting skills training for firefighters and its evaluation method.
