The Drone Pre-Flight Checklist

The same checklist professional pilots use before every flight. Print it, laminate it, and never miss a safety step again.

What's covered

🔍

Visual inspection checks

Propellers, motors, gimbal, body damage, SD card, lens — a systematic walkthrough of your drone before power-on.

🔋

Battery & power verification

Battery charge level, controller charge, return-to-home altitude, failsafe settings — the checks that prevent mid-flight emergencies.

🌤️

Weather & environment assessment

Wind speed limits, visibility, precipitation, temperature — plus which apps to check and what thresholds to respect.

📍

Airspace & location verification

No-fly zone check, NOTAM review, ground risk assessment, bystander distance — the legal checks that keep you compliant.

Firmware up to date, GPS lock confirmed, home point set, flight mode correct — the digital checks that prevent software surprises.
