How to prepare a drone for a flight? 

The first and most important thing is to keep your drone in good technical condition before the flight. This is achieved by properly storing the drone when it is at rest. Store your drone in its original box or special bag. Carefully store its accessories and always check that all parts are present. 

Drone flight planning 

Flight planning is a very important step before flying. Select the location, the area where you want to fly. If it's a familiar place, that's fine. If it is new and unknown - then you must make a sightseeing tour. You can walk around the perimeter or, if you are an advanced pilot, fly at low speed with a drone. 

Check the Drone Compass and, if necessary - calibrate it. 

Calibrating the drone compass is very important. It ensures your flight safety. Find out what it represents and do it if necessary.\

Check the drone equipment 

Before each flight, you must perform a complete check of the drone equipment. If you think it is useful - make a list and follow it. This way you will not miss any important parts. 

Check the weather forecast before each drone flight 

Check the current weather forecast. If there are storms and dangerous weather, postpone the flight. The unnecessary risk is not worth it. The wind and rain are the most dangerous for the drone and its flight. 

Check the condition of the drone batteries 

The batteries must be in good condition before the flight. Make sure they are well charged so you can fly enough.

Check drone rules for flying in the chosen area 

The location you have chosen for the drone flight may be subject to strict rules. Always check for local drone rules and regulations. There may be certain areas banned from flying. Also, if you intend to fly your drone at night  -the rules are more complicated. Special flight permits may also be required. Always check the official websites of the relevant air authorities responsible for drone flights. 

The good preparation is very important 

The more time you spend preparing for the flight, the more you reduce the risk of unwanted problems. Invest in the preparation and enjoy a flawless and enjoyable drone flight.
