FlybyOps is a system of record for enterprise drone teams that unifies project management, flight logging, equipment tracking, risk registers, incident reporting, and audit trails under role-based access controls.
What is FlybyOps?
FlybyOps is a web-based platform designed for regulated drone operators that consolidates projects, flights, equipment, risks, and incidents into a single workspace. It takes manual or auto-ingested flight data (with Phase 2 DJI controller integration coming), site-scoped job assignments, and document uploads, and outputs a tamper-evident audit log, encrypted document vault, and role-specific dashboards. The platform is built by FlybyOps and is accessible at app.flybyops.com.
Key Features
- Projects & jobs — Scope work by site, draw project/job areas on the map, and roll up every flight, document, and risk under one operation.
- Flight logging — Capture take-off, landing, distance, cargo, pilot, and ground crew per flight; hours roll up against pilots and individual drones for maintenance.
- Risk register — SORA 5×5 severity × likelihood scoring with mitigation actions, owners, and review dates; pilots/ground staff can flag risks in the field.
- Incident reporting — File incidents against flights, jobs, or aircraft (including anonymous, whistleblower-grade reporting); root and PM are notified automatically.
- Equipment & maintenance — One registry for drones, controllers, batteries, chargers, PPE, and SIMs; flight hours automatically assigned to the correct airframe.
- Role-based access — Five built-in roles (Admin, Project Manager, Operation Lead, Pilot, Ground Staff) with project- and job-scoped visibility; site-specific NDAs remain enforceable.
- Append-only audit log — Every mutation and sensitive read written in the same transaction as the business event; nothing can be quietly edited or deleted.
Who is it for?
- Regulated drone operators (utilities, infrastructure, energy, survey) who need defensible records for audits — they use FlybyOps to store flight logs, risk registers, and incident reports with an immutable audit trail.
- Project managers who oversee multiple sites — they invite pilots/ground staff, approve jobs and incidents, and ensure each site’s data stays within its own contract scope.
- Pilots and ground crew — pilots log flights against assigned jobs and flag risks; ground staff file incidents (including anonymously) without seeing other sites’ data.
What can you do with FlybyOps?
- Audit preparation: Retrieve all flight records, equipment hours, risk registers, and incident reports for a specific project in one place, reducing last-minute scrambling.
- Flight logging: Record take-off/landing times, distances, cargo, and crew for each flight; hours automatically accumulate on the correct drone and pilot for maintenance forecasting.
- Field risk flagging: Pilots or ground staff can flag medium or high risks (e.g., ground-crew clearance gaps) using the SORA 5×5 matrix, assign mitigations, and set review dates.

FAQ
Is FlybyOps free?
A 14-day free trial is available without a credit card. After that, the platform is paid — details are available by contacting the team or starting the trial.
What drone models are supported?
Phase 1 supports manual logging for any drone. Phase 2 (coming) will auto-ingest from DJI controllers, with models such as Matrice 350 RTK and Mavic 3E shown in use. The platform rolls up hours by individual drone serial numbers (e.g., #M3-04).
