Adrian Kingsley-Hughes, an experienced drone pilot, emphasizes the importance of regular safety checks for drone operation. Despite his success in flying drones without losing any, he frequently encounters stories of users who do. He advocates for three types of checks: pre-flight, post-flight, and biweekly/monthly inspections. These checks help catch visible damage to the drone and ensure safety before, during, and after flights. Proper maintenance is essential for prolonging the life of the drone and enhancing flying safety.
"As you wouldn't put a plane in the sky that hadn't had safety checks carried out on it, I wouldn't put a drone in the sky without doing the same."
"Pre-flight checks are to catch damage that might have occurred while storing or transporting the drone, while post-flight checks are to identify any issues that happened during flight."
