With recent drone-related incidents making headlines across the country, my team and I at Mobile Drone Services understand growing concerns about safety, compliance, and the responsible use of unmanned aerial systems (UAS). As a professional drone services provider, I want to take this opportunity to emphasize our commitment to safety, transparency, and public trust.
Here are the steps MDS takes to ensure safe and compliant operations every time we fly:
1. Strict Compliance with Airspace Rules: We always follow FAA regulations, obtain proper authorizations (LAANC or COA), and communicate with Air Traffic Control (ATC) when required.
2. Prepared and Transparent Operations: We carry all necessary FAA documentation, including our Part 107 certification and drone registration, to address any public concerns or law enforcement inquiries.
3. Respecting Public Concerns: If approached by the public or law enforcement, we calmly explain our operations, answer questions, and ensure transparency to foster trust.
4. Safety Above All: If a situation arises where public safety is compromised, we prioritize landing immediately and rescheduling the flight if needed. Safety is always our top priority—for you, the community, and our equipment.
5. Professionalism and Education: We LOVE to fly and strive to educate the community on the benefits of professional drone services, whether it's for construction, inspections, or mapping, while always maintaining the highest standards of professionalism.
By operating responsibly and upholding strict safety protocols, we aim to demonstrate the value of professional drone services and maintain the trust of the communities in CO/NE/KS/WY and UT that we serve.
If you have any questions about drone operations, compliance, or how we can support your projects, feel free to reach out! We’re here to help.
