What do you already know about mitigating risks before a drone flight?

Factors to Consider

• Weather conditions, 
• Airspace restrictions 
• Ground obstacles 

are important factors to consider before a drone flight.

Watch the following video and lets discuss what we've learned. 

Mitigating Ground Risks

Identify and remove any potential ground obstacles that may pose a risk to the drone flight.

Assessing Air Risks

Analyze airspace restrictions and identify any potential conflicts or hazards for the drone flight.

Risk Assessment Exercise

Assess the risks involved in a hypothetical drone flight scenario and propose necessary mitigations.

Exercise 3 - Case Studies

Analyze real-life case studies of drone accidents and fill in the gap

Summary and Review

Recap the key factors to consider, ground and air risk mitigation strategies, and the importance of reading technical documents for drone flights.

Assessment

Complete a short quiz or assignment to test your understanding of ground and air risk mitigation for drone flights.
