FIELD LESSON
Briefing
Do not self-deploy blindly
Emergency areas can involve restricted airspace, helicopters, police, fire, SES, distressed people, smoke, low visibility, and changing hazards. Uncoordinated drones can create danger.
Support roles
Useful roles can include damage documentation, search support, flood extent mapping, access route review, asset checks, and situational updates, but only with proper authority and coordination.
Rapid still needs records
Even urgent missions need aircraft readiness, pilot identity, airspace check, authority, weather, task objective, and data handover path.
