Integrating drones into your existing business ops requires one indispensable element before all else...a change in your mindset! When we embark on anything new and relatively unknown, it becomes a matter of faith, trust, and uncertainty. Unless you are willing to adopt and accept these inescapable elements to drone integration, you are not yet ready. Feel free to reach out to me for more clarity on managing and integrating drones into your workflow. Thank you.

Straight out, hire a professional pilot. When You hire someone to fly an sUAS, ask, are You FAA 107 Certified. If You require Twilight flying, know the requirements. Is Your Pilot FAA 107 Recurrent Certified? There are many flagrant violators We encounter all too often. Ignorance is not acceptable. Hire a Professional. And ask, not only are they licensed but are they Insured. Does Your company do everything or do You run a company. Delegate. Hire the right people to do the right job. This is not W2. This is 1099. Hire a Professional Pilot. The FAA is cracking down on violators. They have to. There can be consequences otherwise. Hire an FAA 107 Certificated Pilot. Hire a Professional.

2 Research the market and options

Once you have a clear vision of your needs and goals, you need to research the market and options available for UAV technology. There are many types of UAVs, ranging from fixed-wing to multi-rotor, and from hobby-grade to professional-grade. Each type has its own advantages and disadvantages, depending on the intended use case and environment. You also need to consider the features and capabilities of the UAVs, such as battery life, payload, camera, sensors, communication, and navigation. Additionally, you need to look into the software and platforms that can help you manage, control, and analyze your UAV data and operations.

As a 107 Certificated Pilot, We are constantly being updated about Rules, Regulations, Procedures and Checklists. Briefings and DeBriefings. Every mission is a privilege. The sUAS technology is constantly changing. We can expect that growth and change to continue. The best way to learn is to teach. I'm working toward becoming a Flight Instructor to teach other sUAS Pilots beyond 107. Experience is the best Teacher. Just as in business marketing, know Your Numbers. Analyze each mission. Check and track Your flight Logs. Follow Procedures. Know what works. Know potential problems. Maintain Situational Awareness. Enjoy and have fun. Another benefit of collaborations. Networking keeps Us informed. Know Your Associate Pilots.

3 Train your team and obtain certifications

Integrating UAV technology into your existing processes also involves training your team and obtaining the necessary certifications. Depending on the complexity and scale of your UAV operations, you may need to hire or train qualified UAV pilots, operators, analysts, and managers. You also need to ensure that your team complies with the local and national regulations and standards for UAV use, such as airspace rules, flight permissions, safety procedures, and privacy policies. Moreover, you may want to obtain some industry-specific or vendor-specific certifications or accreditations that can demonstrate your credibility and professionalism in using UAV technology.

4 Test and evaluate your UAV solutions

Before you launch your UAV solutions into full-scale operations, you need to test and evaluate them thoroughly. You need to conduct some pilot tests or trials in realistic scenarios and environments, and collect feedback and data from your team and stakeholders. You need to measure the performance and results of your UAV solutions against your predefined goals and criteria, and identify any issues or gaps that need to be addressed or improved. You also need to evaluate the costs and benefits of your UAV solutions, and compare them with your existing or alternative methods.

There ate 2 aspects to sUAS. 1. Recreational 2. Commercial Testing should be done as Recreational to test and evaluate aircraft, procedures and Team. Recreational flying is in preparation for Commercial flying. I have a mission mindset for success. Always Test and Verify. Your Results can affect others. Keep that in mind.
