Frequently Asked Questions

Can I schedule drone pilots and assign them to inspection sites?

Yes. Assign licensed pilots to jobs, attach site coordinates, and set flight windows. Pilots see their schedule on the app with all job details before they head to the site.

How do I track flight time and billable hours per inspection job?

Pilots clock in at job start and log flight time separately from travel. Both figures attach to the job record for accurate client invoicing and equipment usage tracking.

Can I attach inspection footage and reports directly to a job?

Field staff upload photos, video links, and PDF reports from the app. All files attach to the job and are accessible to your office team without any manual file transfer.

How do I manage FAA waiver requirements across multiple pilot accounts?

Store certification expiry dates and waiver details in each pilot's profile. The system flags upcoming expirations so you never schedule a pilot with lapsed credentials.

Can I handle multi-day aerial survey projects with the same team?

Yes. Create multi-day jobs, assign the same crew, and track daily clock-ins separately. Progress notes and uploads accumulate on one job record for the full project duration.

How do weather delays affect scheduling and time tracking?

Mark a job as delayed with a reason code. The pilot's hours aren't logged for the cancelled day. Reschedule with one tap and the job history reflects the delay accurately.

What does the platform cost for a drone inspection business?

Solo operators or 2-person teams fly free. Larger crews pay $5 per employee per month. A 55-day free trial gives you full access before any payment is required.
