Flight Plans Pre-flight
Every Drone flight needs a plan. We create a flight plan before each takeoff. This helps to ensure we maintain safety and compliance.
Every flight plan is logged prior to takeoff
Why are Flight Plans necessary?
Having a flight plan is a great way to make sure a project has everything it needs before takeoff. The process of creating a flight plan also gives every client the opportunity to specify their requirements and to be confident with the project.
Flight Plans complete a brief and assist pre-flight checks
We use an easy tool for flight planning which is provided by OpenSky. As well as keeping a record of flight intentions, this amazing app also provides alerts and weather conditions specific to any location and time.
What does a Flight Plan include?
Preparation means safer flying with better results
Drone operators have a busy task during flights, as they perform the functions of Remote Pilot and Photographer / Videographer at the same time. Flight planning is also a means of workload management and include a combination of Flight Operation as well as Media Capture information.
Flight Operation
- Location and purpose
- Altitude and path
- Flight duration
- Hazards and risks
Media Capture
- Camera settings
- Filters and actions
- Shot list (including angles, distances, backgrounds etc.)
A Flight Plan is really only half of the planning picture. It is also vital to consider the Camera Plan for each project.
