Frequently Asked Questions
Can I schedule drone pilots and assign them to inspection sites?
Yes. Assign pilots to jobs, add the site address, and set a deadline for each mission. 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?
Add a number field for flight time to the checklist the pilot fills when the job is done. With the Invoicing module, flight time and travel then go on the client's invoice as separate line items.
Can I attach inspection footage and reports directly to a job?
Field staff add photos and notes through the checklist attached to the job, straight from the app. The completed checklist stays with the task, so your office team sees it without any manual file transfer.
Can I handle multi-day aerial survey projects with the same team?
Yes. Create a job for each survey day and assign the same crew to all of them. Each day's checklist and photos stay with its own task, and the client profile lists every task for the project.
How do weather delays affect scheduling and time tracking?
Move the task to a new date, or cancel it and create a new one. The pilot sees the change in the app, and the cancelled task stays in the task list with its status.
What does the platform cost for a drone inspection business?
Solo operators or 2-person teams fly free on Tasks, the base module. Larger crews and each added module cost $5 per employee a month, and every module comes with a free trial of up to 55 days.
