    Flight records

    Hey Jon, hope my response helps you some. We looked hard and long at this in my industry (Global O&G company). Every solution seems to have advantages and challenges. The opportunity is that imported data from your drone can save time and provide a standardized way to collect flight-related data...

    Flying near Hydrogen Sulfide gas (flammable)

    Kristina, it's highly unlikely (but not impossible). Risk assessments for O&G facilities are critical and must be performed before every flight. Additionally, the UAV crew should have direct communications with equipment operators to quickly react to "changing conditions" (leak develops...

    Crystal Sky and Map Question

    Make sure you're not worried about warranty issues. Crystal Sky is basically an android tablet with DJI factory-installed apps. Adding anything will be considered a "hack". Good luck.

    Part 107 Test/Recurrency go LIVE 4/6/21... Important notes . . .

    Done. Very nice. Really appreciate how they have removed some of the variability / vague-ness so far. Easy to navigate, etc. Sent a suggestion to them re: "Self-Maintenance" to add a step for safe TESTING (spin up, C2, system check, etc.) after maintenance, and prior to actual operations...
