I bet there are a bunch of us 107 pilots that would love to take part in something this big! Life is too precious and to be a part of saving someone’s life is an incredible heart warming feeling. ❤
You absolutely should get involved! Reach out to your local SAR team to see if they’re looking to expand their group 😊
Got a SAR team here in Ohio and I love every second of being their UAS pilot. Ohio Special Response Team
@@tbeiter28What part of Ohio? I used to live in Columbus. Love it out there!
@kylenordfors Canton Akron area for me, but our organization has 7 teams throughout the state, one near Columbus and Cincinnati, I believe.
I’m a Safety Assessment Professional (assess structures after earthquakes or hurricanes) so there is a use for my Part 107. Thanks, Pilot Institute❤
Hear me out, this needs to be a tv series. 😁
Wow, didn't know that many resources were available to be used in a rescue like this one. Very well done.
Thanks Greg and Pilot Institute for all your work and a big Thank You to all the first responders out there. You guys are the best. 👍😊🙏
This is one of the reasons I'm getting my part 107. If i can make a difference in a person's life, I will know that it was all worth getting my license.
That’s how it’s done!!! Except Dennys
Great video
outstanding PSA for SAR. I was on a canine team 30 years ago and this was so familiar but yet so different with the added technology. Handheld GPS was new for us at the time; facinating to look back and imagine how useful drones would have been.
Before the local constabularies had drones I went up twice to help find an errant Alzheimer’s patient. Success both times. The County now has its own drone program. I’m still a volunteer if they need it. SAR
is the highest use, save for military. Good video. Every 107 pilot should volunteer. See you at Oshkosh.
So my understanding was Part 107 was for commercial use, why do you need it to help with SAR operations? I would think that would be more of an assistive emergency type deal.
@ If the flight is anything other than recreational, it falls under 107. Flying an SAR event entails a lot of ground/air coordination. It can get confusing real quick. North-South routes 390’, East-West 320’, grid distances, time aloft, landing/takeoff sequences, visual observers, etc. We use top and bottom mounted strobes for collision avoidance. No guarantees though. If you wish to volunteer, ask a local fire/police dept. They’ll get you going in the right direction. It feels pretty good when the team finds someone.
Excellant. Just signed up for the training in this.
That's amazing teamwork and coordination.
The nice gentleman who was rescued looked a bit familiar. :)
As a Civil Air Patrol sUAS Mission Pilot, I'm super impressed with how you showcased drones for search and rescue. Great job on the brief & debrief scenario for great team collaboration and continuous improvement. Seeing the potential of color, thermal, and AI analysis of the video is amazing. Hopefully, we'll see improvements for "on-the-fly" AI video analysis for faster response time within the controller.
Thank You for the kind words!
Good job! Great training! Go Greg!! My SAR commander is signing me up for your course - looking forward to it!
Fantastic! Let me know if there are any questions!
Great work Kyle and Greg!
Thank You!
Well done!
Very detailed operation. Great work! I do a lot of similar operations myself here in Canada!
Excellent!
Great resource for any presentation on the value of drones for saving lives. Use to fight regulations that interfere with the use of drones for SAR.
Excellent video!!!!
Great video. Thanks for creating it!
Greg, you missed a golden opportunity to be wearing a Pilot Institute hat during your " rescue". Great demo!
I think he should have put on an AUVSI hat as he was totally “lost!” 🤣😜
out freaking standing. Well then let's share it with some people in Washington. Perhaps they could say " well you can do it with another brand of drone" but in places like Puerto Rico that is one of those places where Hurricanes (Florida, Texas) hits every year, we are also susceptible to Tsunamis and earthquakes (California) , in these days where mother nature is changing so fast, an emergency can just be right the corner. By the time they do some changes life and property is in danger. Any lost, their fault.
How do you share screens with the crew in the van?
@@equisetuminclooked like they used the HDMI output. The RC Plus controller also has options for broadcasting the view wirelessly.
Would it be possible to get info on the radios and headsets used on this video? Thank you!
You bet... they are the Eartec UL2S Ultralite
It's a good thing Congress is keeping us all safe by banning these dangerous drones... /s
Was skydiving proven to be lobbying for this legislation?
Politicians sticking their noses into industries they know nothing about.
I want this job....
🙂👍👍
да это подстава какая то...)))
здоровый мужик не смог спуститься с детской горы.. смешно
Why was the race so important to say. It’s not like there’s a crowd of people, it’s one guy.
For the same reason height, age and gender was mentioned, so they can be identified more easily.
Fellas, is it racist to mention the missing persons race when your trying to find him?
Nice demo but I kinda disagree in that Thermal doesn't always work b/c of how easy it is to hide, like if the person was hiding from the cold. Seems like they need an AirTag app on the drone to find the phone that called emergency services. I imagine the cellphone-surveillance stingray-devices in city-planes are really good at it as they can track entire human-groups-of-interest. I don't want that tax on my DJI purchase b/c the technology to outperform drones already exists to find the location of a cellphone. I had thought planes are not even $200 an hour for cities who own them to monitor their counties, like for planes that find speeders they only had to earn $125 an hour in fines to justify the programs I had once read.
Thermal does not ALWAYS work. Situations where the heat difference is not enough (hot summer day) and where people are not in direct view of the sensor will make it impossible to use thermal.
Your post is a little confusing.. We agree that thermal doesn’t always work for a variety of reason. Thermal loading and tree canopies are somethings that make the thermal camera useless.
AirTags on drones, especially in that back country where there is no cell coverage, or if we’re looking for someone with an android simply do not work well.
If you enroll in the class you’ll learn more about effective SAR strategies that have been proven over hundreds of thousands of rescues.
We agree, we don’t want more taxes on our drones either.
@@kylenordfors AirTags use bluetooth so if you were to fly right above the trees you might get a real-time-tracking signal. Especially if the person was not too far off the trail. Stingrays in planes are cell-towers.
You can't hide from a thermal camera. You have watched Rambo too many times
@@LovemyEvoque It's easy to hide from them. Sure there are times when you can't but there are many times when you can. Light is more difficult to hide.
