Given every checklist we found on the internet makes you sign up for their newsletter, is a paid web app, or is a online document that requires a subscription, we thought we’d make ours free with no strings attached. If you work on projects for large networks, be it for ABC, Discovery, or streamers like Netflix’s, they all do thorough vetting of any aerial drone footage so they know content hitting their platform is complaint with FAA laws for commercial drone work.īeing organized when hired on major productions is sure to leave a good impression as well. It also adds redundancy and also makes it easier for them to have all info they may need if questioned by the FAA or if a network is preforming QC on drone footage while still having our own record. We keep a separate log book in our drone kit as well for our own recrods. Personally, we use this log when hired onto commercial projects by outside firms or other production companies to give them for their record. However, if you do end up using our checklist, tag us on social and let us know just so get an idea of who out there got some use from this. We’re not in the social media/online influencer game, making money from ads or trying to have 1M likes on Instagram. ▢ Power on the remote control.Tag us if you use our Drone Pre-Flight Checklist! ▢ Place the drone on a level surface within your staging area, safe for launch (check for defects in the propellers, camera, body, battery, etc.)
