Safety Measures for Proper Drone Flight

Safety Measures for Proper Drone Flight

Every drone flight should always be conducted with all necessary safety measures in place. While flying a drone may seem like a simple process to many, if not done correctly, it can pose significant risks, both for causing material damage and physical harm to others. Therefore, every operator must take all necessary safety measures for proper drone flight.

There are several types of drones, each with its own characteristics and peculiarities. A competent operator should follow specific safety rules to complete each flight successfully, regardless of the type of drone used. So, what are these safety measures?

Flying in Open or Closed Spaces

Depending on the size of a drone, its flights can be conducted either indoors or outdoors. Flying in an open space is undoubtedly easier, as choosing an open spot eliminates the risk of an unwanted collision.

It would be wise for a novice operator to prefer flying in open spaces until gaining some experience. Indoor flights should always be conducted by experienced operators, as the risk of causing material damage and possibly destroying the drone is very high.

Equipping Necessary Accessories and Spare Parts

The flight time of a drone is limited, depending on its battery capabilities. A drone operator should always have a spare battery, as the primary battery might run out before completing the desired flight. If you plan to fly the drone for hours, it is advisable to have 2-3 batteries or upgrade your drone’s battery for longer autonomy, as well as a sensor that informs you in real-time about the battery status.

For example, in a significant coverage such as wedding photography with a drone, battery exhaustion could cause you to miss important moments of the ceremony.

When conducting indoor flights, it is advisable to attach the necessary protectors to the propellers to avoid unwanted damage. Thus, even in a collision with a wall or furniture, the propellers will not suffer any damage.

Adhering to Regulations for Drone Flights

As mentioned in the article “Information about drone flights,” every unmanned flight must adhere to specific rules. In summary, these rules include the maximum height and distance a drone can fly, as well as the locations where it is prohibited. Always follow these rules to avoid legal consequences.

Checking the Drone Before Each Flight

A very important step before each flight is for the operator to conduct a full functionality check. This means that initially, the drone should be checked externally for any wear or damage, and then a small test flight should be performed to ensure everything is working correctly.

Practice and Experience

A drone operator is not just someone who bought and flies a drone but someone who, with enough practice and experience, is capable of following all safety rules and anticipating potential mishaps. No one wants to think negatively, but you should always be prepared for something to go wrong in every flight. It is also advisable to be informed about the weather conditions beforehand, as they are one of the main factors affecting proper drone flight.
