About the Seminar
The 7-hour presentation on “Aerial Inspections for Real Estate Appraisers” is broken down into 5 distinctive sections, known as Flight Briefings. The Flight Briefings are as follows:
1. Types of drones
2. Real Estate Uses of drones
3. Trends of drones
4. Rules and Regulations
5. Mission Day
Our First Flight Briefing is on Types of Drones. We are going to learn what defines a drone and the different environments that they can operate in. For Real Estate, we are going to focus on aerial uncrewed vehicles. There are basically three types of drones that are used for aerial inspections. That’s because different types of drones are better suited for different environments. We are going to close out Types of Drones with a discussion of the additional equipment and tools necessary to conduct operations.
Our Second Flight Briefing will be focused on 10 different Real Estate Uses for drones. Drones deliver aerial access and perspectives that were previously unavailable. They are easy to use and have a relatively low operational cost with safety built-in. We are going to learn how an aerial mission can collect actionable data for different Real Estate Uses
Our Third Briefing We will discover the tools used to gather actionable data, from onboard sensors to computer programs. We are also going to learn about the support systems that are being used to aid in aerial operations.
For Our Fourth Flight Briefing We are going to be introduced to the Rules and Regulations. We are going to discuss the current public issues and concerns regarding privacy, security, and safety. From the Federal Government to the general public, we will learn about resources available for permissions, authorizations, and waivers to fly. We must understand more than just airspace, pleading ignorance is not a defense.
Our Final Flight Briefing is called Mission Day. It is time to fly and do a field inspection. We are ready, the drone is airworthy, and the crew is ready. It’s time to recheck today’s flight information. We are going to learn to expect the unexpected and how to identify the main hazards and risks inherent through a series of Case Studies. Finally, we will take to the air and discuss the photographs and videos needed to get our client the data they want.
“Aerial Inspections for Real Estate Appraisers” provides a realistic and thorough approach to using drones to gather useful data that can be used by a variety of different real estate businesses. Whether we want to fly a drone for your business or hire a pilot, this presentation provides us with the information We need.
