Aerotas has designed all new online training courses to get you over the FAA Part 107 hurdle, impart useful operational safety guidelines, and ensure that you are collecting reliably accurate data using your drone.
The New Aerotas Drone Surveying Checklist
The newest version of our checklist is smaller, laminated, and designed to always stay with your drone kit. The checklist will be used along side a paper companion flight log that is now longer so that it can record information about more of your flights. The old checklist was a single piece of paper that combined both the checklist and the flight log; you used a single checklist for each flight. Now, one checklist can be used across multiple flights, and the flight log can hold more information.

Spring Cleaning: Keeping your drone airworthy
In order to maintain reliability in our UAS, we need to inspect and update our equipment on a regular basis. After a long winter, or prolonged bad weather, or even just lack of suitable jobs for the drone, it is important to thoroughly run through all of your system and visual checks before firing up the drone for a client mission.
