When flying a drone, never underestimate the importance of planning. Spending many hours planning a simple mission which may only last two hours can be commonplace. Identifying significant air and ground hazards, mitigating risk, obtaining permissions, and planning for flyaway and other incidents is crucial to performing a well executed mission. A documented flight plan and risk assessment is an absolute must. Huge shout out to all the drone pilots out there putting the hours in before boots hit the ground. #drones #airsafety #riskassessment

VLOS: How Drone Pilots Determine Maximum Flight Distances One of the most blurred rules in drone operations is the legal requisite to operate an unmanned aircraft (‘UA’) while maintaining constant visual line of sight (‘VLOS’) of the aircraft while in flight. Whether or not the FAA went about creating a confusing drone mandate is perhaps an argument for another day. For now, we set our sights upon a most troublesome common sense UAS safety concern by taking an in-focused look at how an unmanned aircraft pilot goes about determining their maximum visual line of sight distance for a given in-flight aerial drone mission and some of the factors that affect a UA pilot’s ability to maintain constant visual observation during in-flight operations.

Join us for an event dedicated to promoting responsible drone usage and safer skies. Let's unite to learn, share, and cultivate a culture of safety in the drone community Together, we can soar to new heights responsibly.
The DGCA's drone size classification system is like a meticulously organized library, with each drone neatly categorized on its own shelf. From the tiny nano drones, barely bigger than a hummingbird 🐦, to the hefty heavy-lift beasts, capable of carrying substantial payloads 🏋️♂️, every size class has its own set of rules and regulations. This structured approach ensures that airspace remains safe and orderly, allowing both manned and unmanned vehicles to coexist harmoniously ✈️🚁. So whether you're flying a micro marvel or an imposing giant, you can do so responsibly, knowing that the skies are carefully managed 🌌.

Do you know how to prevent a drone flyaway? Follow these safety tips. 👉 Calibrate the compass before each flight; 👉 Wait for the drone to record the Homepoint before starting the flight; 👉 Configure in the application the altitude of the RTH (Return To Home) and the return to the homepoint in case of loss of signal; 👉 Avoid flying close to places that can generate a lot of interference (metal, glass, etc.); 👉 Avoid BVLOS flights; 👉 Make sure that the drone and control firmware are always up to date; 👉 Make sure the batteries are properly charged enough for the planned duration of the flight; 👉 Make sure you have enough altitude to avoid any obstacles. #hpdrones #drones #flyaway #tips #safety

The future of logistics is here💯
How do we ensure our drones steer clear of other low-flying aircraft when navigating crowded airspace? Unmanned Aircraft System Traffic Management (or UTM). UTM acts like an automated reservation system for different flight routes. If a drone plots a route that conflicts with an existing drone's reservation, UTM tells it to find a new route. See it in action in this video.
