So, what’s it like to fly a UAS?
Well….What if you stepped into your cockpit…
…and you lost 4 of
your 5 senses?
You only have vision!

Only 1 sense?• You can’t hear the engine
rpm fluctuating
• You can’t feel vibrations, accelerations or motion
• You can’t smell the fuel leak
• You can’t taste the electrical fire smoke
• AND, you lose vision in one eye, 30º FOV!
• WELCOME to UAS flying!

With decades of evolving cockpit design,
today’s aircraft exhibit common standard
control and display formats and arrangements.
Example: The “T” arrangement
It works in many types, small and large.

What about the displays and controls?
No need to
memorize
numbers if the
normal range and
limits are
displayed (red
