DID YOU KNOW...

The FAA could fine you up to $27,500 for civil penalties PER VIOLATION and/or up to $250,000 for criminal penalties. The PER VIOLATION component may be assessed for every flight that violates FAA rules and the FAA has the right and tools to review every flight flown by each drone.

Managing a drone program is complex and costly.  Many organizations have started their own in-house drone program only to discover, after-the-fact, they have created significant legal and compliance liabilities, and incurred operational expenses far exceeding their initial cost estimate. Equipment, licensing, training, resource costs, maintenance, software and data processing, data storage, compliance monitoring, and insurance are all costly components of any program. Most organizations of scale typically find their in-house program carries a typical cost of $250-$450 per site visit. Done poorly, these costs can skyrocket and leave you exposed to FAA fines, potential criminal liability, and uncovered insurance claims.

Since every business is unique, we can assist you in determining whether an in-house, outsourced, or hybrid drone program is the best fit.  We'll evaluate your use cases, desired scale of operations, resource capabilities, budget, risk tolerance, technology expertise, and other factors to recommend the best path forward. Our collaborative approach will yield a tailored plan to help you achieve your drone technology goals successfully, on schedule, and within budget.

Beyond the planning phase, we can assist with implementation. Flight operations, equipment management, data processing, and aerial insight implementation are disciplines requiring experience. We can help manage this process with program design, implementation support, workflow design, flight training, software recommendations, and guidance for safe and regulatory-compliant operations.  And we can design an effective process to transition to self-management over a timeframe that allows your organization to become self-sustaining.

Once your drone program is up and running, DroneLogix can provide on-demand training, flight support, operational audits, and safety audits to keep your organization effective, safe, and compliant.
