How to order a mission

Follow these steps to order a mission:

  1. Create your DroneDeploy project.

  2. Plan your map(s), photos, videos, or panos all within the same DroneDeploy project.

  3. When all plans are created, select Request from the left-hand panel. This is where the ordering process begins.

  4. Enter additional information relevant to the site in the Special Instructions field. You can also add a Purchase Order Number if applicable.

    • Pilots are instructed to follow the flight plans explicitly unless safety or FAA compliance is a concern or they are directed otherwise on-site.

    • If entering a long piece of information in the Special Instructions field, type it out in a separate document or note and then paste it into the text field.

    • If a restricted flight zone exists, include that information, but note that the Data on Demand pilots check the airspace the day before the flight.

  5. Include a Mission Due Date by inputting it into the Special Instructions field. The team does its best to accommodate any due date on your project as long as your request is made with enough time.

  6. Double-check Flight Plans. Pilots only fly the flight plans that are selected. Ensure the right flight plans are selected in the drop-down, otherwise, all flight plans are automatically selected and flown.

Key Features/Details

All Data on Demand mission pricing is based on flight time in Mavic 3 Enterprise minutes.

  • Obstacles to watch out for on-site.

  • Launching or takeoff areas.

  • Job site trailers.

  • Relevant check-in information.

  • Other contact information.

Limitations

The team will send you an email (within 24–48 hours) notifying you of the scheduled date.

After the flight is completed, the data is uploaded directly to your project. DroneDeploy sends you and anyone shared on the project an email when each map or media file is processed.
