Hello,

Our organization requires that we document multiple/additional documents besides the pre and post flight checklists. Examples include:

1. An In office operation plan

2. An Incident/accident form

Issue: We can create these forms pretty easily in the forms section of Site Scan Manager. However, Site Scan Manager and Flight limit us to using only two of them (refer to screenshot). We are also limited to filling them out only in the Flight App.

Solution: It would be wonderful if additional custom forms besides the pre and post-flight checklists could be completed for a mission. Additionally, giving users the ability to fill out these forms in the Manager OR Flight app would be beneficial. This feature request is an important part of centralized mission planning at many organizations. E.g. https://community.esri.com/t5/site-scan-manager-ideas/site-scan-mission-planning-from-the-office/idi...

Thanks @ChristopherRatcliff .

Could you please share more details about what the in office operations plan entails? 

We do plan to add the ability to record incidents in Fleet Management in the future, along with providing notifications to Fleet Managers when one if logged. 

Until we expand capabilities in Site Scan Manager for additional forms, you may want to consider using ArcGIS Survey 123, I know of several organizations using it to make drone flight requests or to request internal approvals.

Hi Nico, 

Sure thing. The in office plan includes the following information, at least in our organization. It is usually done the day before the operation while we are prepping all of our gear/batteries/checking for firmware updates, etc.

  • An overview of the operation
  • Deliverable content & quality Checks
  • PPE, Survey, and UAS Equipment Checks
  • List of Team Assignments & others on site
  • Special Considerations, LAANC, and Waiver Checks
  • An overview of the specific site and additional Safety/Risk Assessment
  • Weather requirement checks
  • Approval section for our UAS Program Coordinator to approve the plan

Thanks!
