22 practical checks to run through before every flight. The same checklist is built into the app with progress tracking — this is the reference version.
✓Weather checked — wind within your drone's limits
✓Flying area clear of people and animals
✓Checked for overhead obstacles and wires
✓Safe, flat take-off and landing spot identified
✓Drone will remain in visual line of sight
Pre-Takeoff
✓Compass calibrated (if in a new location)
✓GPS signal strong (6+ satellites)
✓Home point confirmed on controller
✓Hover test completed at low altitude
This is the practical/hardware half of the app's full pre-flight checklist. The in-app version also covers registration, Remote ID and airspace checks — for those, see the official CAA drone code rather than relying on any third-party summary, ours included.
