The standards we fly to.

We publish the checklists our own pilots work from. Use them to brief a crew, to hold a vendor to a standard, or to judge whether the imagery you were handed actually covers the roof.

Roof Inspection Flight Standard and Coverage Checklist

One repeatable sequence, flown the same way on every roof, so no plane, penetration, or defect is missed. Three pages, eight sections, nothing padded.

Checklist page one: before the launch, and the capture sequence
Page 1 Before the launch · The capture sequence Scope, airspace and LAANC, weather and light limits, site survey, aircraft set up. Then the six-step capture order: overview orbit, whole-roof nadir, plane-by-plane obliques, detail passes, damage twice, confirm before landing.
Checklist page two: coverage checklist, image quality standards, drone operational considerations
Page 2 Coverage · Image quality · Operations The tick-per-roof coverage list you run before the aircraft lands, the resolution and exposure bar the deliverable has to hold up to, and the operational calls that keep a flight safe on a live site.
Checklist page three: regulatory and safety compliance, after the flight, platform and payload selection
Page 3 Compliance · After the flight · Payload Part 107, registration and Remote ID, airspace and visual line of sight, night and over people, current as of August 2026. Plus the handoff, and when a job actually calls for thermal or RTK.

Who it is for

Roofing contractors, property managers, insurance adjusters, real estate professionals, and anyone commissioning drone roof imagery who wants to know what good looks like. It is the bar we hold ourselves to, so you can hold any provider to it, including us.
