On-site execution process and requirements for drone performances

Behind the splendor of a drone flight show lies a series of rigorous and meticulous on-site execution requirements, which, like solid cornerstones, support the successful staging of every stunning performance.

01 Site Requirements: The takeoff and landing site must be surrounded by open areas. This is the top priority for flight safety. It should be kept as far away from buildings and crowds as possible to prevent any damage to surrounding facilities or people during the takeoff and landing of drones. An open site can provide sufficient operating space for drones and avoid dangerous situations such as collisions caused by narrow spaces.

02 Airspace: Apply for the flight airspace to the local area one month in advance and report to the public security department. This step cannot be overlooked. The legal application for the flight airspace is the legal basis for ensuring that the drone show proceeds in an orderly manner within the specified scope, and the report to the public security department can further strengthen security coordination, putting the entire flight activity under comprehensive supervision and protection.

03 Flight Area (real-time online status): The height shall be strictly controlled below 400 meters, and the width shall be limited to less than 400 meters. The clear definition of the flight area not only helps ensure that the drones do not exceed the safe range during the performance and interfere with other airspace users but also enables operators to accurately control the flight trajectories and formation changes of the drones, providing a stable airspace framework for a spectacular performance.

04 Charging Room: As a key place for temporarily storing aircraft and equipment, it needs to be equipped with a high-power power supply circuit for battery charging. During the flight show, the energy supply for drones is crucial. The rational setup of the charging room can ensure that the batteries are charged efficiently in a short time, keeping the drones in good flight condition at all times. Meanwhile, proper storage of equipment can also effectively protect it from external environmental factors and extend its service life.

05 Flight Security: Use enclosures and other physical means to close the takeoff and landing site. This is an effective barrier to prevent unauthorized persons and animals from accidentally entering the flight area. At the same time, arrange security personnel and volunteers to maintain order. They will play an important role in guiding the crowd and preventing emergencies on site, ensuring that the entire flight show site is in an orderly manner and creating a safe and stable environment for the smooth takeoff and landing of drones and the flight performance.

06 Emergency Plan: In response to emergencies such as sudden weather changes, aircraft failures, operational errors, and unauthorized personnel entering, an emergency plan must be formulated and activated. Sudden weather changes may instantly change the flight environment, aircraft failures and operational errors may lead to flight out of control, and unauthorized personnel entering will bring unpredictable dangers. A sound emergency plan can take effective measures in the first instance, such as landing the drones in time and evacuating the crowd, to minimize casualties and property losses and ensure the safety and reliability of the flight show.

During the 1 - 2 hours before the flight, there is a series of intense yet orderly preparatory work. The positioning of the aircraft must be accurate to ensure that each drone can take off smoothly according to the predetermined order and position. The battery installation is related to the flight endurance, and it must be carried out strictly in accordance with the operating specifications to ensure that the drones have sufficient energy support during the performance. The setup of the ground station equipment is like building the "command center" of the flight show. Through it, operators can monitor and control the flight status of the drones in real-time. These pre-flight preparatory works are like the backstage rehearsals for a sophisticated performance, laying a solid foundation for the upcoming spectacular flight show.

When the takeoff instruction is given, the drones take off like agile dancers and form amazing formations and multiple preset patterns precisely according to the choreography program. During the 15 - 20 minutes of the performance, the drones shuttle and change in the air, perfectly integrating the precision of technology with the beauty of art, presenting the audience with a magnificent visual feast. And the final landing is equally crucial. The drones need to land smoothly, marking the successful completion of this aerial performance.

After the performance, tidying up the aircraft and equipment and withdrawing from the site is the final step of the entire process. Within 30 - 60 minutes, the staff need to quickly and orderly organize and store the drones and related equipment, clean up the site, and restore it to its original state. Efficient withdrawal work not only reflects the professional quality of the team but also leaves good site conditions and a good reputation for the next flight show activity.

Every link and every requirement embodies the professionalism and dedication of the drone flight show team, jointly creating unforgettable aerial wonders.
