Just Culture in UAS: Lessons from Experience in Aviation: WATCH AGAIN

Join us as we discuss Just Culture in UAS. This webinar is part of ARPAS-UK’s commitment to professionalising the drone industry.

In this webinar, we explore how the principles of Just Culture, widely adopted in the aviation industry, can be effectively applied to the rapidly growing Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS) sector.

Drawing on over 30 years of experience in aviation, including 27 years as an airline pilot and leader, we will discuss how fostering a culture of accountability and learning, rather than blame, can improve safety, operational efficiency, and incident management in UAS operations. Whether you’re a UAS operator, manager, or safety professional, this session will provide valuable insights into building a resilient and safety-focused organisational culture.

Shadow Busting: How to get Better Images & Data – Webinar Watch Again

Data lost in highlights and shadows can lead to less accurate AT tie points models and meshes. And missed AT and defects.  This Webinar shows you some of things you can do to save a mission or mitigate the effects of sunny day and moving shadows on low lit mornings and evenings, extending the hours you can fly and improving the consistency of your images.

About the Speaker:

Barry Bassnett has been a photogrammetrist cartographer and surveyor for 43 years, working on projects in over 80 countries, and a few planets. He is passionate about improving imagery for digital heritage workflows in photogrammetry, inspection imagery, sub-millimetre large scale metrology and object documentation.

Earth observation and aerial surveys 6th edition and the geospatial sector

Recent years have seen an enormous increase in the availability and use of all kinds of geospatial imagery. From the advent of accessible earth observation and satellite systems such as Copernicus, the rapid development of LiDAR, to the evolution of UAV systems and the revolution of hybrid sensors. Aerial survey capabilities have been further enhanced by enhanced digital processing, improved navigation and control systems and increasingly accurate GNSS use in ground/airborne control.

This is an exciting and fast moving geospatial surveying sector and is increasingly used in applications such as environmental and land management, topographic mapping, site surveys, construction and infrastructure, coastal management, building condition reports and much more.This new edition is an important part of the professional experts and surveyors technical armoury.

The lead expert Author Allan Jamieson Ordnance Survey GB will introduce the new standard and discuss its implications with a panel of sector experts.

We would encourage delegates to send in questions or comments beforehand to [email protected] but there will be opportunities to ask throughout the webinar.
