Most commercial and residential real estate missions will have weather requirements. For the mission to be completed successfully, the assets must be captured at a time when the weather requirements can be met.

If a mission is shot in the wrong weather conditions a reshoot will be required. For instance, smoky, hazy, or foggy skies will require a reshoot. Keep in mind that these assets are generally used for marketing purposes so must be captured in the best conditions possible.

Rescheduling

If weather conditions are not being met, please reschedule the mission in your dashboard. Make sure to choose the correct reason for rescheduling.
If you are unable to reschedule the mission in your dashboard email pilots@dronebase.com with the DBM#, address, reason for rescheduling, and a new flight date.
For any mission that was prescheduled by the client and you need to reschedule due to weather, email pilots@dronebase.com with the DBM#, address, and reason for rescheduling, or follow up on the existing email thread so we can reach out to the client for a new flight date.
