Today we discuss the need for universal UAV language and training standards. Is this lack of uniformity endangering airspace safety?

Our caller, Desi has come up with an excellent question that has not been asked on Ask Drone U before. Desi has noticed how different pilots have different jargon for flight maneuvers. Understandably, this can cause confusion and endanger safety.

Desi has made a great observation. The absence of a universal language can possibly cause a drone crash, especially when you are collaborating with a large team. Apart from a universal UAV language, we also discuss the pressing need to adopt uniform drone training standards. If you have encountered these issues while flying, you will find this show particularly interesting. Thanks for the great question, Desi. Fly Safe!
