Ensure that your drone always functions properly.

Why drone maintenance is important

Keep track of the maintenance of all your drones, batteries, payloads and more in Dronedeck. Maintenance is a task for both the drone pilots who fly the drones and the maintenance manager.

Usually, all these steps are included in a pre-flight checklist.

1. The drone pilot must check the drone before and after each flight. The following steps are a guide to what to do. 
2. Check for visible damage: Before each flight, it is important to inspect your drone for visible damage. Look for cracks, loose parts or other signs of physical wear and tear.
3. Clean the drone: Clean your drone with a soft cloth to remove any dirt, dust or debris that may have accumulated. If necessary, use a mild soap and water solution. Do not use solvents, as these can damage the drone's electronics or paintwork.
4. Check the battery: Ensure that the battery is fully charged and functioning properly. Replace any damaged or worn batteries.
5. Test the motors and controls: Check that the drone's motors and controls are functioning properly. If necessary, calibrate the drone's sensors and controls to ensure accurate measurements and performance.
6. Inspect the propellers: Inspect the propellers for cracks or damage. Replace damaged or worn propellers.
7. Update the software: Ensure that the drone's software is up to date. This ensures that the drone is using the latest version of the operating system and that critical security patches are installed.
