Drone maintenance should be routine, not reactive.

Regular inspections help catch problems before they become dangerous.

Things to inspect often:
• Propellers for cracks
• Motors for debris
• Battery condition
• Firmware updates
• Camera gimbal movement

A few minutes of maintenance can prevent a major failure in the air.

Just because someone owns a drone does not make them a legal commercial operator.

Respect people’s privacy when flying.

Even when a flight is legal, flying too close to homes or crowds can create complaints and damage trust in drone pilots.

Good practices include:
• Avoid hovering over private property
• Keep distance from crowds
• Explain your purpose when appropriate
• Fly professionally and respectfully

Responsible pilots help improve public perception of drones.

Pre-flight checklists are not just for airline pilots.

Professional drone operators use checklists before every mission to reduce mistakes.

A simple checklist may include:
• Battery levels
• Propeller condition
• SD card space
• GPS connection
• Weather conditions

Small checks before takeoff can prevent expensive problems later.

Night flying is legal in many situations, but it comes with additional responsibilities.

Pilots must be able to maintain orientation and visibility at all times.

Helpful night flying practices:
• Must use anti-collision lighting
• Fly slower than normal
• Stay in familiar areas
• Watch battery levels closely

Darkness changes depth perception more than most people expect.

Flying near airports requires extra caution.

Even small drones can create serious risks for manned aircraft during takeoff and landing.

Before flying:
• Check nearby airspace
• Use LAANC when required
• Follow altitude limits
• Never assume an area is unrestricted

Airspace rules exist to keep everyone safe in the sky.

FOLLOW AND SHARE

Always maintain visual line of sight with your drone.

FAA rules generally require pilots to keep the aircraft visible without relying only on a screen or goggles.

Why?
Because seeing the drone directly helps you:
• Avoid obstacles
• Watch for aircraft
• React quickly to emergencies

If you cannot see your drone clearly, you should not keep flying farther away.

Battery management is one of the most important drone skills.

Most crashes happen because pilots push batteries too far or ignore warning signs.

Good habits include:
• Starting with fully charged batteries
• Landing before batteries get critically low
• Storing batteries safely
• Avoiding extreme heat

Smart battery habits protect both your drone and the people around it.
