For serious drone professionals and enterprises, running an efficient and compliant drone program isn’t just a best practice—it’s a necessity. From public safety agencies to large enterprises and commercial operators, ensuring operational readiness is a cornerstone of any successful program. With Aloft’s new Maintenance Scheduling feature, we’re proud to offer a best-in-class solution to meet this critical need, particularly for operators pursuing Beyond Visual Line of Sight (BVLOS) waivers and preparing for forthcoming Part 108 regulations.
Why Maintenance Matters for BVLOS Operations
Maintenance plays a pivotal role in obtaining BVLOS waivers. The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) requires operators to demonstrate comprehensive maintenance protocols, including detailed schedules and logs, to ensure the safety and reliability of their drones. Operators who neglect these processes risk delays or outright denials of their waiver applications.
Looking ahead, the anticipated Part 108 regulations are likely to formalize and standardize these requirements for BVLOS operations, making scheduled maintenance an even more critical component of compliance. By proactively adopting structured maintenance practices, drone programs can position themselves for success today and in the future.
Introducing Aloft’s Maintenance Scheduling Feature
Aloft’s new Maintenance Scheduling feature is designed to simplify and automate this essential aspect of drone operations. Key capabilities include:
Scheduled Maintenance: Plan ahead with recurring maintenance tasks for every aircraft in your fleet.
Automated Reminders: Stay on top of your schedule with notifications that ensure nothing slips through the cracks.
Comprehensive Logging: Maintain detailed records of inspections, repairs, and updates to provide full transparency for regulatory compliance and internal reviews.
These features not only streamline operational workflows but also provide the documentation necessary to meet regulatory expectations, improving the likelihood of obtaining BVLOS waivers and staying ahead of future requirements.
Designed for Professionals, Built for Compliance
