DroneDeploy allows you to manage equipment registration, maintenance, pilot certifications, and expiry dates in one centralized platform. This system keeps your program information organized and ensures pilots and drones remain compliant with local laws.
Availability: Who has access?
Equipment & Pilot Management is available to Enterprise subscribers. To add this feature to your subscription, please contact the Sales team or your Customer Success Manager.
Pilot Certifications
Pilots add their certification details, including start and expiry dates, within their User Preferences. Organization Admins can then view these certifications and track expiration dates to maintain compliance.
View your Drone Fleet
The Fleet dashboard provides a quick status update on your hardware:
Identify which drones are in working order or in repair.
See when a drone was last flown and the associated project.
Identify the assigned pilot.
[!NOTE] DroneDeploy supports a one drone per pilot model. You can change assigned pilots as needed, but the system does not support multiple assigned pilots for a single drone simultaneously.
View your Fleet's Batteries
Track battery health and usage to ensure mission readiness:
Monitor which batteries are functional or require maintenance.
Review the last project where a battery was used.
Check the assigned pilot for each battery.
Limitations
Device Registration: DroneDeploy does not manage or control individual mobile device registration, as the software operates in the cloud and does not connect to internal IT systems.
Pilot Assignment: Each drone is limited to one assigned pilot in the current data model.
FAQs
Q: Does DroneDeploy manage my mobile device registration?
A: No. Because our software runs in the cloud and does not connect to your internal IT systems, DroneDeploy does not manage device registration.
Q: Can I assign multiple pilots to a single drone?
A: The current data model supports one assigned pilot per drone. You can update or change the assigned pilot as your workflow requires.
