The Poudre Football team is looking to hire 6 Aviation Students workers for an internship to fly drones and capture end zone game film at all their varsity football games. The dates of the varsity football scrimmages and games are 8/15, 8/21, 8/29, 9/5, 9/12, 9/19, 9/25, 10/9, 10/17, 10/24, and 10/31. You would be hired as a student worker and make $15/hour. There would be two students working per game. To be qualified, you’ll need your FAA Part 107 commercial sUAS (drone) certification, have a minimum of 20 sUAS logged flight hours, and pass a flight skills test. All students would be required to document each drone job using a sUAS flight log. It will also be important that you work with Coach Eric Tonkin to learn how to use the film software program Hudl to upload game film promptly. Coach Tonkin will be your evaluator for the course credit you can earn from this experience.
