Site evaluation

If the initial viability study concludes that there are no serious barriers to prevent the flight going ahead, and that any required permissions can be feasibly obtained, the next step is to conduct a more detailed evaluation of the site using information from the sources listed on the references page.

This is followed by a site visit to confirm the desk research and to identify any unexpected factors that could impact the safety of the flight. If a site visit is not possible in advance of the day of the flight, all physical checks will be performed as part of the site checklist.

The site evaluation is completed in the Drones app and included in the exported flight brief PDF.
