Use this advanced drone preflight checklist to prepare for safe, compliant flights. Verify site details, crew roles, and weather conditions, then review airspace requirements including NOTAMs, controlled airspace, and any needed authorizations. Confirm documentation such as Advanced RPAS certification. Perform equipment checks: battery levels, propellers and arms secure, gimbal and camera functioning, motors unobstructed, DJI Fly connected, and sensors and lenses clean. Ensure SD card capacity, establish clear takeoff and landing zones with safety perimeters, identify secondary landing options, brief spectators, and verify signal and satellite strength before takeoff.
