UAS POLICY OPERATIONS AND DATA MANAGEMENT PROTOCOL

This course will help guide you develop commercial drone operations

Acquiring a drone is exciting, but safe, lawful and efficient flight operation should always be the #1 priority - especially for commercial operations! I have researched and developed a set of internationally-accepted UAS policy and commercial standard operational procedures that cover all aspects of drone operations. I will help your organization determine what licensing you require so you can create a safety policy, manage UAS flight requests, custom flight checklists, logs, maintenance procedures and even data management protocols so that your team can safely fly with confidence and execute drone missions with precision from the start!

What my customers are saying

“Dr. Baldwin was instrumental in developing our Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) Operational Manual and providing training to technicians from a wide range of government and non-government agencies in UAS technology. She also delivered the first comprehensive GIS Data Management Protocol for the Department of Environment’s spatial environmental database. We look forward to collaborating with Kim in the future on other similar initiatives.”

Instructor Bio

I’m a marine ecologist, GIS educator, and commercial drone pilot with over 20 years of experience in environmental mapping, monitoring and training across the Caribbean, California and beyond.

As the Founder and Director of Marine Spatial Information Solutions (MarSIS) Inc., I’ve built a career around one core mission: empowering people to use participatory approaches together with drones & geospatial tools to make data-driven, real-world impact.

Through my Training Academy, I’ve taught hundreds of individuals and organizations how to safely & professionally operate drones, conduct drone mapping missions, collect accurate environmental data and analyze and share their results for agriculture, fisheries, conservation and disaster management. My Participatory-UAS approach brings together science, technology and collaboration — ensuring that every learner, regardless of background, can build confidence and contribute to smarter environmental decision-making.

Whether you’re an individual seeking new skills or an organization building technical capacity, my goal is to make drone technology accessible, practical and transformative. Together, we can learn how to use technology tools to help us protect our planet and strengthen the communities that depend on it.
