FIELD LESSON
Briefing
Buy for jobs, not identity
The best aircraft is the one that reliably produces the deliverables your clients will pay for. Buying too much aircraft too early can create insurance, training, transport, and cash-flow pressure.
Total kit matters
Budget for batteries, controllers, chargers, cases, ND filters, payloads, storage, software, insurance, training, maintenance, and replacement risk.
Workflow fit
An aircraft is only part of a service. Confirm processing software, client report format, pilot competence, support, repair, and data pipeline before building offers around it.
