Drones, like any aircraft should be inspected and serviced regularly. This is especially true when they are being used commercially. While performing your maintenance checks in house is possible, using a professional is highly recommended.

The industry accepted maintenance cycle is to service your drone every 6 months, or 200 hours of flight time. DJI also recommend that critical components, such as motors are replaced every 18 months. This shows the importance of multipoint inspections and deep cleaning as just one component failing could be catastrophic.

Droneoptix offers a complete drone maintenance service. This includes an in-depth multipoint inspection, deep clean, full update and calibration and finally a flight test. If any issues are found we will contact you and after your confirmation, repair it for you. We will then issue it with a Certificate of Service, confirming it passed our service criteria.

What our service includes

1

Multipoint inspection

Your aircraft undergoes an in-depth series of checks to ensure all flight systems are fully operational. We carefully check for faults in all components and for signs of wear and tear.

2

Deep clean

We perform a deep clean using isopropyl alcohol to ensure no dirt, dust or oils are at risk of damaging components.

3

Update and calibration

We make sure firmware on all the internal systems, batteries and controller is fully updated. We calibrate sensors such as vision positioning systems and the IMU.

4

Flight test

We undertake a flight test to confirm the aircraft functions correctly under operational conditions.

5

Repairs

Hopefully the drone has passed the service without any faults. However, if we discover anything that needs to change we will let you know, and if you approve we will carry out the required work.

6

Certificate of Service

Once we are confident that your drone is completely functional we will issue a Certificate of Service.
