UAS Pre-Flight Checklist System - Future Features
Canvas-based signature pad for legal compliance. Auto-embed in PDF exports with timestamp.
Attach photos to a mission via Cloudinary to document equipment condition, weather, and site hazards. Embedded in the PDF export.
Embedded map showing no-fly zones, airports, and restricted areas within 5-mile radius. Works offline.
Risk score grouped by PAVE — weather versus your personal minimums, daylight margin, site familiarity, and schedule pressure. Says what drove the score and what to do about it. Pilot fitness and aircraft condition are not yet included, and it says so. Advisory only.
Flight hour counter with automated alerts for scheduled maintenance intervals.
Elapsed time fills in from launch and landing times, including flights crossing midnight, and the mission totals every flight. Edit any value and yours is kept.
Per-flight and per-battery voltage is captured today; trend analysis and degradation flagging are still to come.
Quick-access list for ATC, local authorities, insurance. One-tap call with GPS location share.
Add your own items to any aircraft profile — they append to that aircraft’s checklist and travel into the PDF.
Spanish and French translations with auto-detect browser language.
Record verbal observations during walk-around. Auto-transcribe to text and attach to items.
Sunrise, sunset, and civil twilight computed on-device from your launch location — no network needed. Feeds the daylight margin in the risk assessment.
Shipped as part of Personal Minimums — forecast wind, gust, and crosswind component checked against the limits you set, not against a manufacturer spec.
Mark an aircraft profile as a manned aircraft and it gets a manned pre-flight checklist instead of the drone one. Your POH/AFM checklist stays authoritative — this covers what happens before it.
Set your own limits for wind, gust, crosswind, and cloud cover. Every pre-flight checks the forecast against them. A limit the forecast cannot report is shown as unchecked, never as passing.
The pilot-fitness check — Illness, Medication, Stress, Alcohol, Fatigue, Emotion — recorded with the flight and fed into the risk score. An unanswered IMSAFE counts as not assessed, never as a pass.
Export all missions as CSV/XLSX with pivot tables for analysis. (A full JSON export of your data already ships under Dashboard → Account.)
Signed-in missions sync to our Postgres database across every device on a paid plan, with an offline outbox that flushes on reconnect.
Track pilot credentials and aircraft documents with expiry reminders. A reminder tool, not a compliance check — in limited release while a pilot reviews it.
