What precautions should pilots take while planning public safety operations over water?

Welcome to PROPS Public Safety podcast. A podcast where we answer questions related to public safety pressing issues, concerns, latest news and provide our insights from our learnings and collaborations with experienced professionals in the public safety team.

On today’s show, hosts John and Mike discuss about conducting drone flights over water specifically when conducting public safety operations and how pilots can successfully plan and execute such missions.

John and Mike discuss the unique challenges brought up by flying over water and detail the many specifics that are required to be observed as part of flying over water. We start off discussing about the difference in land and water public safety operations and how pilots need to plan their water operations differently from the land operations. We then discuss about several parameters on this show such as landing, take off, landing pads, wind, battery management, thermal sensor management, water operations precautions and more.

Tune in today to learn about about conducting safe operations over water and how pilots can plan in detail prior to performing public safety missions over water !!
