The only thing IDT prioritizes over customer service and client satisfaction is Safety and Adherence to FAA Regulations.

You will:

• Be asked to sign the IDT Safety Agreement (and re-sign in this evolving industry as updates are made)
• Remain current on your Part 107 rating, which includes a test renewal every 24 calendar months
• Act as Pilot in Command of your drone and therefor:
  • You are operating under your FAA Part 107 Certificate;
  • Have the ultimate authority and control over your drone;
  • Must operate it in a safe and compliant manor;
  • Amend client requests to be compliant with FAA and Local regulations if needed; escalate to John or Zach if situation gets out of hand
  • Decide personal weather limitations
  • Again, hold the responsibility of Safety and Adherence to Regulations above everything else.
• If you are found negligent Indoor Drone Tours will not cover you under the company insurance policy and you will be responsible for any fines and legal fees/issues that arise.

Visual Observer Videos

• Internally, we require all outdoor FPV flights to be accompanied by a “Visual Observer Video”
• This video must show the location the pilot is flying along with the person who is the Visual Observer standing next to the Pilot In Command.
• The easiest way to accomplish this and not provide extra work is to hit record on the drone, hold the drone before launching, show off the visual observer, show off yourself and surrounding area, and then place the drone on the ground to fly
• DO NOT EVER FLY OUTDOOR FPV WITHOUT A VISUAL OBSERVER AND A VISUAL OBSERVER VIDEO TO ACCOMPANY THE FLIGHT OR YOU ARE BREAKING FAA REGULATIONS. Our safety standards are what set IDT apart from all other companies in our space and it is our goal to be the role model for safety in the drone industry

Charging Safety Overview:

• Do not charge or use batteries if the battery is punctured or damaged, bloated or expanded, shows signs of swelling or is otherwise deformed.
• Do not charge batteries unattended. Monitor batteries during charging for popping, hissing, smoke, sparks or fire. Also monitor the battery for any swelling or other deformities. Disconnect the battery from your charger immediately.
• Do not charge batteries near flammable material. Charge batteries in a fireproof container. Do not charge batteries while they are in your device (RC car, plane, boat, robot, etc.).
• BATTERY COUNT CHECK: Before leaving every shoot, you must count your batteries to be sure you didn’t leave anything behind
• When charging, always charge within a reasonable distance of a fire extinguisher. A type ABC extinguisher is required. Type D can also be used but these are expensive and extensive testing hasnt been done on their use against lipos, if you go for this route please also ensure a standard ABC extinguisher is nearby as well
• Most/all buildings require ABC fire extinguishers to be located at certain distances on every floor. When in hotels or on site with a client, Ensure you know the location of the closest fire extinguisher before charging batteries, and verify the type of extinguisher to understand the level of risk you’re taking.
