Fun fact: SSI pilots undergo extensive #training before they are qualified for #powerline#flight operations.
Pictured: Recent flight training at SSI's purpose-built #powerline training yard.
Hats-off to the hardworking people who make up the SSI #flight teams. We are proud to have some of the best #suas pilots out there. Your hard work & dedication is crucial to keeping the lights on. Thank you.

#suas technology evolves quickly. We look at each aircraft as being a tool in our tool box. As new tools become available, it's our job to evaluate and determine which aircraft (tool) is best suited which use-case.

Aerial #Lidar allow on powerlines allow decision-makers to examine both natural and manmade environments with accuracy and precision. Better data product, every day.

You wouldn't use a sledgehammer to nail a thumb tack. Every class of sUAS has a purpose. We utilize the right class of aircraft for the right type of job.
#confinedspace sUAS can access the otherwise inaccessible. Get out there.

#ThrowbackThursday
As we begin to tap the potential of UAS tech, we are now starting to see tech work WITH humans. SSI's aircraft aide in the stringing of new transmission lines, alongside a linemen.
Technology is fascinating.
