What it's like to fly a drone in Antarctica
It was the best experience of her life. In this episode of "Props Clear," Windracers Fleet Manager Rebecca Toomey talks about her time in Antarctica with the ULTRA drone. UK-based Windracers worked closely with the British Antarctic Survey flying the drone nearly 450 miles collecting data during the flight to help analyze environmental changes. The ULTRA has a special autopilot system called Masterless, which reduces single points of failure. One cool fact about the ULTRA--it's designed to fit in a 20-foot container. Part of Toomey's job is ground control station operator, which involves planning and uploading the mission. Toomey also talked about living at the Rothera Research Station, including being fed five times a day to keep warm, and getting lots of gear to withstand the conditions.

Meet the woman educating the world about aviation
Heather Monthie is on a mission to be the "most helpful person on the Internet about the UAS industry". She's reached more than 100 countries with her aviation education videos, and she's not stopping there. One of her many goals is to find a way to connect with a scientist or someone who uses a drone on Antarctica since she's connected with people on the other six continents. Monthie is the founder of Educators Who Drone and Electric Monarch Drone Education. She's been a pilot since 1997, and an instructor pilot since 2002. Jillian talks with Monthie about where her passion for flying started--she can pinpoint the moment she was hooked. She also offers advice to anyone looking to jumpstart into a career in emerging technology.

Sky Robots on Patrol
We're talking security in the sky with LandSkyAI. Jillian Angeline talks with Jake Shild, CEO of the security company. LandSkyAI offers a drone-in-a-box solution for security and surveillance needs. The system can go airborne within 5 seconds when needed, and can be deployed up to 250 times in one day. "When we're talking about drones and security, we're really focused on the automation of the systems and how we can actually get it so that almost like a virtual guard scenario where they could either augment the ability of the guards on site or they could save some shifts can't be covered. Maybe it's night shifts," Shild tells Jillian. Jillian also chats with Jake about future goals for the company, including improving communication systems with clients and integrating more of their own video analytics systems. Just think of it like a personal airborne security system to improve peace of mind. ***SUPPORT*** CASH APP: $PropsClear https://www.buymeacoffee.com/propsclear If you have suggestions for topics or guests on Props Clear, email angelswings.jillian@gmail.com.

Lights, Camera, Action: Monitoring Infrastructure with Drones
"It's safer and more efficient, which is rare to combine those two things, but that's what this new tech is doing, " said Bobby Carr, UAS Solutions Consultant with Valmont Industries. In this week's "Props Clear" episode, Jillian talks with Bobby about his experiences in the field conducting miles of drone inspections of utility lines across the country. The drones are outfitted with cameras to capture all components to check for rusted areas, missing pieces and any other issues. This kind of work can save lives and prevent forest fires. It's safer for the teams because they don't have to climb the poles. Bobby said within the next few years, every company involved with utility lines will be using drones to inspect their infrastructure. Jillian also talks with Bobby about his first magical experience flying a drone. You can find his personal work on Instagram at tampabay.aerials. ***SUPPORT*** CASH APP: $PropsClear https://www.buymeacoffee.com/propsclear If you have suggestions for topics or guests on Props Clear, email angelswings.jillian@gmail.com.

Triggering avalanches and fighting fires, just another day at Drone Amplified
From helping wildland firefighters conduct prescribed burns and back burn operations, to controlling avalanches, Drone Amplified is finding ways to use unmanned systems to save lives and keep the supply chain moving. Jillian Angeline speaks with Max Tubman, the Director of Integrations at the company. You'll hear about the magic of dragon eggs, and how a chemical reaction in the drone helps the spheres catch on fire at the right moment to make firefighting efforts more efficient. If you check out the video interview on Jillian's YouTube channel, you can watch the IGNIS drone-based aerial ignition system in action. Max also talks about current testing of the new DART, a system dropping explosive payloads to trigger avalanches to prevent even bigger ones in the future. DART stands for Drone Avalanche Reduction Technology. "The reason why that's really important is if you can trigger the avalanche at the right time, you can prevent it from covering roads or covering a railroad." Max explained. Team members have been traveling across the country testing the drone-based system. Drone Amplified announced in February successful tests with Alaska Department of Transportation & Public Facilities and Alaska Railroad Corporation. Teamwork is key to Drone Amplified's success, and so is learning from every failure in the development process. "If we're not failing, we're not really pushing ourselves hard enough either," Max said during the show. ***SUPPORT*** CASH APP: $PropsClear https://www.buymeacoffee.com/propsclear If you have suggestions for topics or guests on Props Clear, email angelswings.jillian@gmail.com.

Seeing is Believing: Let's talk LiDAR
LiDAR can show you the world in a whole new perspective. Just ask Jeff Fagerman, CEO and Founder of LiDARUSA. Jillian Angeline sits down with Jeff to talk about his journey with Light Detection and Ranging. He says technology is so good these days, the machine can send up to 3 million laser pulses a second to the ground, mapping the world with coordinates. "Take your paintbrush, a four-inch paintbrush and dip it in a bucket of paint, put it on a string and spin that bugger as fast as you can get. If you did that in your living rooms, it's a disaster, right? Everything's covered. And that's how LiDAR works," Jeff told Jillian. Jeff is creative and resourceful, recounting how he and team members would visit Toys "R" US to get ideas for their LiDAR setups, going as far as buying toy cars, taking them apart and calling the manufacturer to get more information. Jeff is all about family too, especially grateful for his wife's support. His grandkids are even using drones to help herd sheep on their solar farm. You'll hear about this, and so much more.

Do you want your Amazon packages sooner? So does she!
“So that drone is just a little worker bee.” For my latest “Props Clear” podcast episode, I had the honor of talking with Erin Roesler, Deputy Executive Director of the Northern Plains UAS Test Site. She’s positive, innovative and seems to love a challenge. The Northern Plains UAS Test Site in North Dakota is one of 7 in the nation. The Northern Plains UAS Test Site doesn’t just wait for groups to come to them—they’ve operated in 17 different states! Here’s a full list of the test site locations if you’re wondering: Griffiss International Airport, NY New Mexico State University, NM North Dakota Department of Commerce, ND State of Nevada, NV Texas A&M University Corpus Christi, TX University of Alaska Fairbanks, AK Virginia Polytechnic Institute & State University, VA (Source: FAA) Roesler and I talk about the creation of Vantis, a statewide UAS network which includes an operations center, integrated infrastructure, the data network, ground control stations, and aircraft. This network supports BVLOS (Beyond-visual-light-of-sight) flights, which can be used for so many industries. Think of it as a highway in the sky! As one of the videos explains on Vantis’ website, it would make it possible for operators to “see all aviation vehicles, manned and unmanned, in one picture”. What I also love is the part of the product can be built on existing infrastructure. Roesler also shares why it’s important for UAS experts to have continued outreach with the traditional aviation community.

Drones in schools: Drone Cadets is empowering the next generation at HART High School in Queens
Jillian Angeline gets out of the virtual studio and goes back to school. She checks out Drone Cadets' work inspiring students to get involved in the drone industry. Jillian visits HART High School in Queens for the STEM in the South program, shadowing Tony Reid and Mike Johnson. Sgt. Tony Reid is Co-Founder of Drone Cadets, which integrates drone programs into schools. Reid's work as a corrections officer with incarcerated teens for eight years at Rikers Island in New York City led him down this path. He wanted to help students envision a bright future ahead with the drone industry as the north star. There are two parts to the twice-weekly after school drone certification program. The first--classroom instruction where Mike Johnson with Drone Lecture helps students prepare for the FAA's Part 107 drone license test. The second--interactive activities like building and flying drones and learning how to solder. Jillian also spoke with HART High School leadership, Principal Kayode Ayetiwa and Assistant Principal Anna Raghubir, about the importance of the program for students as they prepare for college and the workforce. Ayetiwa and Raghubir said they're excited to implement a drone course directly into the curriculum for seniors this fall. Students will study to attain their Part 107 license in the first part of the program, and focus on taking their knowledge to the workforce in the second. ***SUPPORT*** CASH APP: $PropsClear https://www.buymeacoffee.com/propsclear If you have suggestions for topics or guests on Props Clear, email angelswings.jillian@gmail.com.

Power from below: A "tail" of tethered drones
Some have described this capability as a cell tower on wings. We're talking tethered drones this week with Elistair. Based in France, the company's tethered drone technology is deployed in more than 60 countries logging 50,000 hours! The drones are used for anything from surveillance to event security. These drones last longer in the air due to the cable connecting them to a ground station, which provides massive benefit to battery power limitations and can extend communication networks. Jillian chats with Kyle Mehl, Head of Government Sales for North America. His goal: expand Elistair's reach. ***SUPPORT*** CASH APP: $PropsClear https://www.buymeacoffee.com/propsclear If you have suggestions for topics or guests on Props Clear, email angelswings.jillian@gmail.com.

Do this to be a better drone pilot
SAFETY...it's something all pilots (crewed and uncrewed) need to have top of mind before and during the flight. Jillian Angeline hosts Kyle Nordfors for a second time to talk all about what drone pilots can do to ensure the skies are better for everyone. Kyle is the Drone Team Coordinator for the Weber County Sheriff's Office in Utah, the UAS Chairman for the Mountain Rescue Association and a 737 Captain for Alaska Airlines. "The 107 was a great start. But I think, my personal opinion is that it doesn't go far enough. Too many people study for 107 just to pass it," Kyle tells Jillian. Crew resource management and aeronautical decision-making are vital. Check out some tips Kyle offers so drone pilots can get more education beyond the Part 107 base requirements. ***SUPPORT*** CASH APP: $PropsClear https://www.buymeacoffee.com/propsclear If you have suggestions for topics or guests on Props Clear, email angelswings.jillian@gmail.com.
