Is too much information really required for public safety flights? How can drone pilots keep operations simple?
Welcome to PROPS Public Safety podcast. A podcast where we answer questions related to public safety pressing issues, concerns, latest news and provide our insights from our learnings and collaborations with experienced professionals in the public safety team.
Today’s question is having too much information for public safety flights and if these are really required for flights and missions. Pilots today have a host of applications, programs and procedures that can complicate flight planning and execution of missions. Is the information really required or do we classify them as noise for pilots?
John and Mike address this in our show today by sharing their experience of using minimal and optimal information to fly efficient and effective missions. Tune in to learn how public safety drone pilots can use optimal information to file NOTAMs, plan missions and use the right tools. We cover how commercial applications today can provide just the right information and discuss differences in commercial vs public safety flights. John and Mike also discuss the need to keep operations and planning simple and how these can help pilots.
Whether you are a seasoned public safety pilot or getting into the world of public safety, Tune in for all the details !!
