Training Center
Located at the base of the Wasatch Mountains and overlooking the Great Salt Lake, the RMUS Training Facility provides a picturesque setting for UAV education. Our two newly constructed classrooms provide students with a functional and comfortable environment to learn about UAV theory, software applications and hands-on equipment demonstration.
Our nearby 40 acre flight area is ideal for students to establish and improve their key piloting skills. The RMUS Training Facility also includes an indoor flight course for GPS denied flight, obstacle training and for flights during periods of inclement weather.
Located only 15 minutes from the Salt Lake City International airport, access to our facility is easy and there are numerous accommodations, restaurants and nightlife options nearby. We are also located within 40 minutes of nine major ski resorts that offer winter and summer activities.
