How to: Read the Weather Advisories

Weather is one of the most important factors influencing the safety and success of any drone operation. A thorough pre-flight weather check is essential to ensure your drone can perform within its operational limits, maintain stability, and comply with aviation regulations. The AirHub weather tool provides detailed, location-specific forecasts to help you make informed go/no-go decisions.

How to: Control Your Map Style and Layers

The map is the foundation of your mission plan, providing important context for safe and efficient operations. AirHub's interactive map allows you to customize your view to suit your needs. You can switch between different visual styles (like Satellite, Dark, or Light mode), overlay important data like airspace regulations and ground hazards, and even display custom map layers unique to your organization. This article explains how to control these features to get the most out of your map view.

How to: Define a Flight Area with Flyzones

Learn how to draw and configure flyzones in AirHub, including contingency and ground risk buffers for safe and compliant mission planning.

How to: Read Advisories

AirHub advisories, powered by Altitude Angel, provide real-time airspace and safety information to help you plan compliant and risk-aware drone missions.

How to: Use Mission Templates

Mission templates in AirHub let you predefine and reuse mission setups for faster planning and consistent operations. Easily customize templates on-site and streamline repeat missions.

Mission state types

This article explains the different mission states in AirHub Ground Control. Each state helps you track your mission’s progress — from planning and approval to execution and completion.

How to: Flyzones

Learn how to create and manage flyzones in AirHub to define safe and compliant flight areas for your drone operations.

How to: Create a Risk Analysis for your Mission

Conducting a thorough risk analysis is a critical step in ensuring safe, compliant, and professional drone operations. This process helps you systematically identify potential hazards, assess the level of risk they pose, and implement effective control measures to mitigate them. A well-documented risk analysis is often a regulatory requirement and is essential for maintaining a strong safety culture.

How to: annotate with map markers

Annotating your mission map with markers is an effective way to improve situational awareness and communication for your crew. During mission preparation, you can use markers to highlight key locations such as the takeoff/landing point, potential hazards, points of interest for an inspection, or the location of the ground crew. During the flight, the pilot can see these markers in the Ground Control app, providing important in-field context and reference points.
