Manually Editing a Drone’s Ownership/Assigned Pilots List

The list of pilots assigned to a drone can be viewed from the ASSIGNMENT -> Ownership tab of a drone profile.
Pilots will automatically be added to a drone’s list of assigned pilots after they complete and upload flights with that drone.

Pilots with "Edit" permissions can check out drones from ASSIGNMENT -> Ownership
Admins can add and remove pilots from the Ownership list.

Important note: Please do not remove all pilots from the Ownership list.
At least one Owner is needed in order to receive Maintenance notifications for that drone.
 
Fleet Admins can also manually add a pilot to the Ownership/Assigned Pilots list.
This can be done by:
1. Heading to EQUIPMENT -> DRONES,
2. Clicking the +Add Assignment button from an individual drone profile.

How to Check Out a Drone

A drone can be checked out in two ways: through the EQUIPMENT -> DRONES dashboard, or using the drone's equipment QR code.
Please note pilots will need the "Edit" permission in order to check out a drone.

1. EQUIPMENT -> DRONES Page

To check a drone out to an existing pilot on the Ownership/Assigned Pilots list, follow the steps below.

i. Head to EQUIPMENT -> DRONES,
ii. Open the individual drone profile,
iii. Check the name of the Pilot,
iv. Click “Check Out Drone”.

A message reading “[Checked out this drone]” will display next to the current custody owner of the drone.

This tab also allows users to check drones back in and to remove personnel from the list of assigned pilots.


2. AirData QR Code Sticker

AirData provides organizations with the ability to print QR code labels that can be attached to equipment for a variety of uses.

The AirData QR code labels provide the following functionality.

1) Equipment Lost and Found: Anyone who comes across a lost item can use the QR code to anonymously message the owner.
2) Equipment Location Register: Each time someone scans a QR code, AirData will record the location of the scan under the "Pilot Usage History" tab.
3) Equipment Check Out/Check In: Pilots can check out an item by scanning the QR code and clicking “Check Out Drone”.

Drone Equipment Kit

You can bundle drones, batteries, and associated accessories into Equipment Kits.
These items can be tracked under one QR code, allowing you to check out multiple items at once.
Please see this help article for detailed instructions on creating Equipment Kits: https://app.airdata.com/wiki/Help/Kits
