As professional drone pilots and safety experts, our FAA Part 107 licensed Aerial Operations team is excited to contribute to this essential cause by shedding light on why drone safety is paramount to our team and our clients and its role in ensuring the sustainable growth of the drone industry.

The Importance of Drone Safety:

  • Protecting People and Property:

Our team’s primary objective of drone safety is to protect people, property, and the environment from potential harm. By being properly trained in all the FAA’s guidelines, having in-depth knowledge of our equipment, and emphasizing safety and responsible drone usage, we can minimize these risks and ensure the well-being of our clients, assets and surroundings.

  • Promoting Regulatory Compliance:

With the increasing popularity of drones in various industries, regulatory bodies worldwide (like the FAA) have implemented guidelines and restrictions to ensure safe and legal drone operations. With our team observing Drone Safety Day, we seek to help raise awareness about these regulations and encourage compliance, fostering a harmonious relationship between drone pilots, the public, and authorities.

  • Encouraging Technological Advancements:

Focusing on drone safety encourages manufacturers to develop and integrate innovative safety features into their products. Technologies like obstacle avoidance, geo-fencing, and automatic return-to-home functionality are all results of a growing emphasis on safety. These innovations contribute to our team having safer operations and help expand our abilities to serve our clients better.

  • Enhancing Public Perception:

Public perception plays a significant role in the acceptance and growth of the drone industry. By prioritizing safety and promoting responsible drone operations, our team can help the industry counter negative perceptions and demonstrate the benefits and potential of drone technology. A positive public perception is crucial for continued support and investment in the sector.

Drone Safety Day serves as a crucial reminder of the importance of responsible drone operations and the role that safety plays in the continued growth and success of the drone industry. By adhering to safety guidelines, understanding regulations, and embracing technological advancements, the Landform Aerial Operations team ensures that the benefits of drones are fully realized while minimizing risks.  Let us all commit to making drone safety a priority, not just on Drone Safety Day, but every day.
