This agricultural drone preflight checklist guides pilots through safe and compliant operations for crop spraying and field work. Verify crew readiness for pilot, co pilot, and visual observer, review weather and site conditions, and confirm airspace checks including NOTAMs and authorizations. Ensure documents such as Part 107 credentials, waivers, COA, and pesticide labels are on hand. Inspect the aircraft airframe, motors, propellers, batteries, controller, GPS, and payload. Confirm pesticide loading and weight, flight plan upload, and clear takeoff and secondary landing zones. Post flight steps include securing equipment, logging pesticide quantity, and shutting down and stowing gear.
