In this article, I’m going to go through fifteen different Tips on Safe Drone Operation to help you to become a better drone pilot. Whether you’re a beginner or you’ve flown drones for years, there’s a lot of information in this that we are going to cover that will to help you on all of your future flights. Some of the topics we’ll be touching on will be general functionality and operation. I plan on putting together another article that will cover tips to produce good looking video footage and photos. Our drone manufacturer of choice is the DJI lineup so most of the content will be applicable to them although many of these tips and tricks can be applied to any drone manufacturer.
nn
Let’s dive in.
n
Tip #1 – Learn You’re Drone Inside and Out
n
Learn how your drone operates, how the propellers go on, how the gimbal works, and all the physical aspects about the drone itself as well as the controller. Just as important, the app you’ll be using to control your drone is an area that you will want to become familiar with. You’ll need a good understanding of the app and what all the buttons do because when you go out to fly. Make sure that when you’re in the air and you’re trying to get some unique photos or a cinematic video, you know what everything means and what the satellites mean. Knowing what each icon on the screen represents is fundamental. Icons such as signal strength and the different on-screen pop-ups such obstacle avoidance warnings. Learning the different components is not hard or complicated but there is a decent amount to learn to be able to know what your drone is doing up in the sky.
n
Tip #2 – Have a Stationary Launch and Landing Location
Do your best to ensure the area is clear of dust and debris so that when you take-off or land you don’t get dirt in your motors or gimbal. A budget friendly and useful item you could purchase is a is a launchpad. They just fold up and they go in your in your bag or backpack. This way you have a launchpad anywhere you go.
nn
Tip #3 – Practice, Practice, Practice
n
Find somewhere to test out your drone such as a park or a large empty parking area. Use this time to learn the controls. This will establish a solid understand on the controller and how the drone moves in the air in a safe controlled environment.
n
Tip #4 – Establish a good GPS Connection
n
When you have a strong GPS signal before you takeoff, your drone is going to know where it is on the earth.It uses Global Positioning System (GPS) coordinates from satellites orbiting the earth to know exactly where it is. Ensuring you have a strong connection between before you just go fly will set your home position.The home point is set on a DJI drone when enough GPS satellites connect. It’s important to know exactly where the home point is because if there’s an issue it’s going to automatically return to that location. An issue that may arise could be happen if the drone disconnects from the controller.The drone will then automatically return to home, but only if the home point is set.
n
Tip #5 – Inclement Weather
n
Drones are not generally waterproof. Although they will work in certain conditions, why would you risk damaging an expensive piece of equipment or worse. Before your next flight, check the forecast for what the weather holds. Additionally, precipitation should not be your only concern. Wind is also a factor that should be recognized. A good rule of thumb for flying on windy days is to always start by flying into the wind. The reasoning behind this has to do with battery life. If you begin by flying with the wind rather than against it, the drone will have to work that much harder to return since it must now fly against the wind to return. This opens the risk of not having enough battery life left to return to the home position.
n
Tip #6 – The 20% rule
Always leave yourself enough battery life to return the home point and don’t fly to the end of your battery. Through experience, I have found that beginning your return flight once your battery reaches 20% remaining life. In cases where you have flown a significant distance away from your start point, you may want to increase that percentage to 25 or 30%. Additionally, there are outside factors that can have a negative effect on battery life such as extreme environmental temperatures. Always give yourself a little cushion so you can bring it back safely. It’s better to have a few spare batteries than trying to push your battery as far as I could possibly go.
n
Tip #7 – Landing on a Solid Flat Surface
Do your best not to catch/land your drone with/in your hand unless it’s necessary. If you’re still new, I suggest finding a solid stationary location you’re able to take-off and land your drone safely without needing to use your hands. I can’t say I haven’t done it, but trust me, I’ve learned my lesson. Last year I was at the beach and didn’t want to get my landing pad out of my backpack, so I tried catching it with my hands. Bad idea. As I was reaching my hand up toward the drone, a strong gust of wind shifted the drone just enough for the propeller blades to clip several of my fingers. Thankfully this isn’t a loss of a limb type injury, but it didn’t feel good. It gave me a few scratches, but worst of all, the drone immediately fell to the ground. Remember, I was at the beach, so this wasn’t some grassy field, it was sand. It took me a couple hours to get all the fine particles of sand out of all the crevices. All in all, I got off easy. It could have been much worse.
n
Tip #8 – Screen Cover
n
It happens all the time, you go outside to fly on a nice sunny day and the sun glare makes it hard to see you screen. When you’re flying your drone and can’t see your screen, there is an increased risk of crashing or injury. Find a nice shady spot out of direct sunlight. This will keep your phone (if your screen isn’t built-in) from getting too hot and dimming and your able to keep good situational awareness. Another option is to pick up a screen shade. Like the launchpad/landing pad, sun hoods and screen covers are fairly cheap.
n
Tip #9 – Pre-Equipment and Gear Check
Check each battery, your memory cards,
n
controller battery and anything else you need before you leave. There’s been times where I’ve driven two hours away to a project and forgotten to put the SD card back into the drone from the last flight. Try not to rush yourself because it will almost always lead to issues. Take a few minutes to go over all of your gear before the trip ensuring you’re good to go.
n
Tip #10 – Return Altitude
Don’t forget to set your ‘return to home’ altitude. I know of a local Fire Department in West Virginia that had a $20,000 drone and one day when they were using it the controller lost connection with the drone. West Virginia is full of mountains and if they would have set the return to home altitude, that wouldn’t have been an issue. Instead, it was still set extremely low from the factory and as the drone was returning, it flew right into the side of a mountain. As a good rule of thumb, set your return to home altitude to the same height as your max altitude for that flight. Generally, this won’t exceed 400 feet Above Ground Level (AGL).
n
Tip #11 – Quick Flight Test
n
When you take-off, hover just a few feet off the ground and double check everything is working correctly. It only takes a few seconds. This gives the drone a chance to establish a strong GPS signal and give you a chance to check the propellers and gimbal is fully operational.
Tip #12 – Rules and Regulations
n
Know the rules and regulations for the area before you start flying. Each location is different, and you should always make sure that you’re flying within the rules that are set in place. There are regulations in place within the USA that we must abide by, but if you’re in another country it might be a different set of rules. Wherever you’re flying, know exactly if you’re authorized to be flying there and what the rules are.
nn
Some of the rules and regulations established in the US include:
n
– You must fly within visual line of sight
n
– Altitude must be below 400 feet
n
– Each drone must be registered with the FAA
n
– You can only fly for recreational purposes unless you have your part 107 license
n
– Ensure you’re not interfering with any manned aircraft
n
– You can only fly in class G airspace unless authorized to fly in controlled airspace
n
Tip #13 – Want to Make Money?
n
Get your part 107 license. This allows you to use your drone for commercial purposes (i.e. make money). This could be through selling your photos on your personal website or one of the many stock footage websites. You can’t legally sell your drone footage unless you have your part 107 license. Obtaining your license isn’t tough and you’ll learn many of the fundamentals of flying along the way. If your wanting your part 107, gather the study material and dig in. The test isn’t hard, but you will need to study before the test in order to pass.
n
Tip #14 – Active Track
n
This goes along with a couple earlier tips about knowing your drone, the controller, and the app. Active track is part of the app and one of those things to know and practice before you attempt to using it for a project. Find an open area and just play around with active track and learn everything about how you’re active track works depending on which drone you have. The tracking will be different as well as different limitations on these drones. Some drones only have sensors on the front, back, top and bottom while some have sensors all the way around. If you were to be using a drone that doesn’t have sensors all the way around, there is a chance it could be tracking you and fly right into a tree. Learn each function of your drone in a safe open area.
n
Tip #15 – Drone Limitations
Understand how your obstacle avoidance works. As I mentioned above, some drones such as the Mavic Air 2 doesn’t have obstacle avoidance sensors all the way around and could fly into something. Unlike the Mavic 3 that has omni-directional sensors providing 360º of obstacle avoidance. While these sensors are extremely handy, when you switch to ‘Sport Mode’ these sensors are no longer active. This means you could end up flying straight into a brick wall if you’re not careful.

The comprehensive stages necessary to execute your building project are referred to as the construction process. Planning/design, pre-construction, procurement, construction, and post-construction are the typical five stages of this procedure. Each phase has its own set of obstacles, depending on the size and scope of the project.
Whether you’re project is a small gas station or a large industrial complex, each phase of the project gives potential to save valuable time and money by discovering efficiencies and opportunities to keep the project moving ahead. Many construction company owners and project managers and are unaware of how effective drones can be throughout their entire project.
nn
This is why we wanted to share some of the many ways drones and maybe some additional software can be highly beneficial during the construction process.
n
1. The Initiation Phase and Pre-Construction Phase
n
The initial stages of any construction project incorporates many aspects of planning. Drones have quickly become the industry standard in this process and are especially important for pre-construction research. We all know time equals money. Every project begins with a plan and those that don’t take advantage of drone technology are wasting valuable time. Here are a few ways a drone can save you time and money in the planning phase:
n
Selecting The Project Location: You may think by physically going to the potential site location and seeing it from ground level with your own eyes, you have a full grasp of the entire location. Now imagine if you were at that same location but looking down, or even 400ft. Wouldn’t that birds-eye view show you much more detail than if you were standing on the ground? Now you can without ever having to leave your office.
nn
Topographic Maps: We mentioned earlier that drones and some additional computer software can be beneficial, well this is one aspect where mapping software such as Agisoft Metashape can show you an enormous amount of information about your site selection. Information such as elevation change with contour, vegetation, Digital Surface Models (DSM), planimetric features (measurements road edges, heights, signs, building footprints, etc).
Surveying: Historically, surveying has been a slow and costly task for many project managers. Depending on the land layout of the construction site, having a survey completed could take days or even weeks. Through the use of drones, this process can be cut down to a matter of hours if not minutes.
nn
Scheduling: It’s important to fly a drone at this early stage of the project. Visually observing the construction location from a birds-eye view will assist in determining optimal staffing, equipment / machine deployment, and overall planning so as not to waste resources. This also applies to the construction phase of the project
nn
2. Drones Support to the Construction Phase
Drones in the construction industry have vastly improved remote site monitoring of equipment, personnel, and material as well as project progression as a whole. Some ways drones are utilized include:
Inventory: Drones provide the ability to inspect material inventories quickly without the need for construction personnel. This greatly increases overall cost effectiveness and restocking efficiency without the risk of a construction slowdown due to lack of materials. Monitoring materials in this way protects also provides a historical reference to project managers and insurance carriers in those rare cases of theft or weather damage.
nn
Safe Detailed Accurate Reporting – Drones have the unique capability to easily access almost any part of a structure and can collect more useful information using high-quality 5K imaging, video or even thermal cameras. Although human experience is still required, drones are much faster, more efficient, and more accurate. By replacing a construction worker and replacing him/her vastly reduces accidents and the risk of an on-site injury. By accessing hard-to-reach spaces, drones can safely collect more information much faster than through conventional means.
nn
Reduction in Delays: Drones are capable of capturing monthly, weekly, or even daily repeatable flights making it simple to create progress photos and reports. Capturing aerial footage in this consistent fashion will allow you to quickly identify areas that are causing or may potentially cause delays during all phases of the project. Gaining this insight on the project grants you the ability to take proactive steps to reduce negatively impacts rather than reacting to them when they occur.
nn
3. The Post-Construction Phase
We’re not saying their wrong that many construction professionals are surprisingly inspecting sites the old-fashioned way when commercial drones can track and inspect sites faster, better, and more accurately, but a photo is worth a thousand words.
nnnn
Before and After: We’ve all heard of C.Y.A. (Cover Your A$$). In the past, we’ve heard project managers say how owners of neighboring properties to their project have complained to them. Some complaints from neighboring landowners mentioned their property was damaged during construction or now they have drainage issues now that construction is complete. Using overhead before and after photos or video, the project manage has a leg to stand on proving the complaint is unfounded potentially saving thousands in legal fees.
Superior Advertising and Marketing: Showcasing your project using stunning aerial drone photography or cinematic videography in your marketing plan will dramatically increase attractiveness and drive more clients to your business. According to MLS statistics, properties photographed by drones were shown to sell 68% faster, creating faster turnarounds and increasing profitability.

Savvy property holders know perhaps the most effective way to ensure their rooftop is in and remains in good condition is through assessments. At UA-Visions, we know having your rooftop surveyed after winter, before fall, and after significantly bad weather events can benefit both residential and commercial real estate owners with quickly identifying problems before it turns into a significant issue.n nInspections of oversized roofs and complex structures can sometimes be difficult, expensive and dangerous. Unlike plain and simple old roofs, most of the newer designs are unique and intricate. However, regardless of shape, complexity or size, developers and owners must comply with building codes and regulations. Aerial Inspections using the newest drone technology is capable of tackling the most complex roof.
Traditional roof inspections can be very dangerous, from roof collapses and insect bites to falls from ladders and scaffolding equipment. This can be caused by malfunctions, improper installation or assembly. However, drone technologies have made inspections much easier, safer, faster and cheaper.
Drones minimize or completely eliminate most risks, including falls and roof collapses under the inspectors’ feet. Sending drones for pre-climb inspections can help identify faults. It also points out faulty roofs so that inspectors are more careful if they still have to climb the roof. Unfortunately, most people don’t care so they haven’t take advantage of modern roof inspection techniques. Many homeowners, business owners, and inspectors have not yet adopted drone screening technologies due to a lack of awareness or lack of knowledge about the many benefits they can provide.
What is Inspected?
Our drone roofing inspections is a great tool. There no need to physically climb up a shaky ladder or risking a long fall back to earth. With this safety conscious option, we’re able to do an inspection without ever having to get up on the roof and risking additional damage to any of the roofing materials like clay tiles or even metal roofs.
First, we simply do a visual inspection of the entire roof checking to see if any of the shingles are buckling, curling, or blistering from the effects of the sun. Even more important, we look for missing or broken shingles while keeping an eye out for moss. Moss can be associated with moisture and roof decay. Black algae stains are common and mostly cosmetic but not as harmful to your roof as moss. This can easily be cleaned up with a mild detergent and a garden hose.
Just remember, don’t uses a water hose with high pressure as this could damage the shingles. nnNext, we take advantage of the Ultra-High-Definition (UHD) 5K camera and zoom in on vent pipes to look for cracks or worn rubber boots as well as rust spots and cracked caulking on the flashing.
Finally, we do an inspection of the gutters and downspouts. Common issues we find are clogs, gutters that are holding water, and the grit that sheds off shingles over time. All of these are not huge concerns, but they will need to be monitored and corrected if possible. Clogged gutters can cause massive damage over time. During times of heavy rain, runoff will sometimes overflow directly into the yard causing foundation damage and/or flow down the side of the house causing structural issues later. Standing water isn’t a big problem… at first. The longer this continues, the better the chances moss and algae with begin to grow and spread causing the runoff not to flow properly. Over time, this may create more frequent clogs and potentially more issues. One element that protects your roof from the sun’s UV rays are the granules along the face of the shingle. When you find them piling up in your gutter, that’s Mother Nature chipping away at your roof’s life span.
What Are the Advantages Using Drones For Roof Inspections?
1. Safety
Drone roof inspections eliminate most, if not all, of the risks associated with traditional roof inspection methods. Hazards arise from the nature and design of the building as well as outside factors such as wind or insects. Complex structures, high elevations, worn roofs and structures, and inaccessible areas can present multiple hazards to inspectors, the occupants inside and those around them. Collecting data without endangering lives is the absolute number one main advantage of using drones to inspect a wide range of assets.
2. Highly Detailed and Accurate Reporting
Drones have the unique capability to easily access almost any part of a structure and can collect more useful information using high-quality 5K imaging, video and even thermal cameras. Although human experience is still required, drone inspections are faster, more efficient and more accurate. Modern building inspection technology allows people to obtain more detailed information about the structure. By accessing hard-to-reach and confined spaces, drones can collect more information than inspectors can obtain through conventional means. You can also use the drone repeatedly to take photos or videos from the same place over and over again. This is useful when you want to compare images before and after repairs are complete. Our drones have built-in GPS systems that can take location snapshots from the exact location with each visit, even after more than a month has passed. This means the drone’s camera can capture images and video from the same height and angle that humans cannot manually inspect.
3. Speed of Completion and Reporting
Significant effort goes into planning and performing traditional building inspections. Therefore, more time and operators are required to plan and perform one inspection. They also need to combine and analyze different data gathered through different means to create reports. New technologies like drones take very little time to verify after a customer requests it. Drone inspections begin as soon as the team arrives on site, as no lifting and access equipment needs to be installed. It also performs inspections several times faster than conventional methods.
4. Lower Insurance Costs
Because of the risks associated with traditional roof inspection, workers and sometimes equipment and structures are insured against accidents and damage. And because many workers are needed, insurance costs can be high, which can reduce profits. Drones are less risky, reducing the need to pay insurance for workers and equipment. Drones eliminate the need to comply with numerous health and safety regulations. These requirements are often necessary when sending workers to perform structural inspections or roof inspections of apartment buildings or similar buildings. Sites should be checked for possible safety issues due to height and other potential hazards. To perform these checks, the regulations require workers to ensure that they are in good health. This is also done for insurance purposes. But drones eliminate the need for testing and workers’ insurance.
5. Greater Accessibility
Due to the design of some roofs, it is not possible to directly inspect them. This could be due to height, slope, or humidity. Chimneys and similar items can also be difficult for inspectors, and some roofing materials, such as clay, can be dangerous to walk on. Inspectors can use camera masts to monitor these areas, but they lack detail and are limited. Drones can be moved anywhere on the rooftop and can collect photos and videos from every nook and cranny. This level of access allows for a thorough check with no missing items.
Some Frequently Asked Question
How long does a roof inspection take?n nA professional roof inspection can take from 45 minutes to 4 hours, depending on the size of the roof, what is being inspected and the complexity of the task. After verification, you will receive a report, usually within one week of your verification, telling you what your verification was, what you found, and recommended next steps, such as any changes that need to be repaired or changed.n
What Affects Roof Inspection Costs? n nThe cost of a roof inspection depends on the type of inspection the contractor is performing, the size and material of the roof, and how much it will cost them to complete the inspection. Most roof inspectors charge an extra fee, especially for large roofs, while others charge per square foot of roof area. You can pay more for experience with unusual roofing materials such as wood shingles or barrel shingles. For example, the cost of inspecting a roof made of slate shingles could be almost four times more expensive than an asphalt roof. If your roof is very high or very steep, you may need to pay extra for a visual inspection or upgrade to a more expensive drone inspection.nnWhat is the cost of drone roof inspections?
Roof inspectors use drones when access is difficult, such as when the structure’s roof is very high or steep. The average price is around 250-400 dollars. The inspector flies the camera-equipped drone over the roof, taking close-ups of all surfaces for expert analysis.
As property owners ourselves, we realize you need fast, safe, and precise reviews from a fair and solid group that won’t attempt to upsell you on extras. UA-Visions offers best in class drone rooftop aerial inspections so you can quickly identify any potential issues that may become worse without corrective action.

Drones are versatile tools that can be used for a wide variety of applications. One of the newer uses for drones is to create 3D models thanks to special software programs that can turn aerial images into digital spatial models. n
Here’s what you need to know about drone 3D modeling
n
How do you create 3D models with a drone and what can they be used for? First, you’ll need to know what a 3D model is exactly. It’s a three dimensional representation of an object created by putting individual points in 3-D space along the X, Y, and Z axis. Points are connected by geometric shapes such as triangles, lines, or curved surfaces to form the model. You can create a 3D model manually by using 3D modeling software, by using an algorithm, or by scanning a physical object. This is where drones come in. Drones are essentially airborne scanners that can be used to turn large objects such as buildings construction sites or simply large land areas into 3D models thanks to a process called photogrammetry.
nn
Photogrammetry is the science of making measurements from photographs, particularly aerial photographs, and using those measurements to generate a 3D model. The way photogrammetry works is it looks at photos of a subject taken from two or more locations. Using the different perspectives of the images along with the location data of where the images were taken, and try to detect the locations of points on the subject. The more photos you have of your subject taken from different locations, the more accurate this triangulation process will be. The result is accurate point locations plotted in 3-D space, which is exactly what you need to create 3D models. Drone photos are great for this process because every photo is geotagged. This means the latitude, longitude, and altitude from the drones GPS and onboard sensors are embedded in the metadata of the image. The metadata also includes information about the camera sensor in the optics of the drone. These geo-tagged photos can be processed by software programs such as DroneDeploy, Pix4D, Agisoft Metashape and others to create 3D models with high detail and accuracy.
To get the best results for creating a 3D model with your drone, you need to do two things. First, you need to make sure there’s at least a 60 to 70% overlap between your aerial photos. This helps the triangulation process be more accurate and track the same points between images. Flight apps such as DroneDeploy and Pix4Dcapture allow you to create automated flight plans and set your desired image overlap. The second thing you need to do is make sure you capture photos of your subject at different angles and altitudes. Typically, you want to capture straight down images from around 100 to 200 feet. Then you want to circle your subject with your camera set to about a 30° angle. Next, fly a slightly lower altitude with around a 45° angle and lastly fly at an even lower altitude with a 70° angle. You of course also want to adjust your radius to keep the subject in frame, but remember to avoid having the horizon in the frame. Capturing these different angles and altitudes helps create a higher quality 3D model by providing texturing image data about the sides and the top of the building.
n
So how are these 3D models being used across different industries?
The construction industry has seen a huge benefit from drone imagery mapping and 3D modeling software. Construction firms can monitor progress of a construction site with regular updates and easily inspect different areas from the comfort of an office chair. The high accuracy of these 3D models also means they can be used to calculate distance, area, and volume measurements.
n
Land surveying has also seen tremendous benefits from drone technology. Not only has it become easier to get project updates but you can create detailed bear earth models such as Digital Surface Models (DSM) and Orthomosaics. These provide the viewer a single image of the entire area rather than many individual photos of smaller areas. A digital surface model is an elevation model that captures both the environment’s natural and artificial features. It includes the tops of buildings, trees, powerlines, and any other objects.
nn
Along with generating 3D models of the terrain, firms specializing in inspection services can also utilize 3D models. Through mapping technology, you can safely inspect previously un-scene angles of tall structures and equipment more safely and more efficiently. Easily spot potential problems with detailed 3D models or the original high quality imagery for a better look at a particular area. Energy firms benefit from these kinds of tools as well. Much of their equipment is larger, more dangerous, or even challenging to reach. The ease of inspecting these types of areas with drones can help ensure it occurs more frequently and with less risk.
nn
The agriculture industry is another area were drones are transforming the landscape. Farmers are not necessarily using 3D models but they can still leverage data from drones to create Orthomosaic maps of their fields. Newer drones are available with multispectral cameras, allowing farmers to create normalized difference vegetation indexes for a deeper understanding of the crop Health.
nn
Public safety can also utilize 3D models for documenting and recreating crime scenes, recording evidence, and providing a fast clear picture for investigators. Imagine if you were a Detective sifting through hundreds of photos, trying to find clues. With this technology, it’s able to provide, you as that investigator, an overview of the entire scene. A ‘to scale’ 3D model, detailing the exact location of every item of evidence in relation to other items and locations found around it. Forensics investigators can even gather imagery and data in the wake of natural disasters in areas typically unsafe for people.
nn
Lastly, architecture and engineering firms are using 3D models to create detailed and realistic models of their buildings or development projects. These models help architects communicate the final design to key stakeholders and investors. For investors, being able to visually see what they are putting their hard earned money toward goes along way.
n
Across all of these industries, drones are making it safer, faster, and more efficient by bringing together meaningful data while reducing liability and risk.
