Practical answers before you plan, export or repeat a route.
DroneGo.io is designed as a professional planning aid for commercial drone work. These answers explain what it helps with, and what still remains the pilot's responsibility.
Common questions
Does DroneGo.io make my flight legal?
No. DroneGo.io is a planning tool only. Users remain responsible for legal compliance, airspace checks, site assessment, safe operation and reviewing every mission before flight.
Can I fly BVLOS with DroneGo.io?
No permission is created by using the software. DroneGo.io does not grant BVLOS approval, operational authorisation or any exemption from local rules.
Is DroneGo.io approved by the CAA?
No. DroneGo.io is an independent planning tool. It is built to support responsible pilots, but it is not endorsed by the CAA and should not be treated as regulatory approval.
Can waypoint missions improve safety?
Structured planning can reduce workload and improve consistency, which may support safer habits. But the pilot remains fully responsible for airspace, weather, obstacles, VLOS, site conditions and the actual decision to fly.
Does a repeat mission guarantee the same path every time?
No. Wind, GNSS conditions, firmware changes, aircraft behaviour and site conditions can all affect the actual path flown. Repeatable missions improve consistency, but they do not guarantee identical real-world results.
Can I use imported flight data without checking it?
No. Imported routes should always be reviewed before launch. Check route fidelity, altitude interpretation, headings, gimbal actions, terrain clearance, TOALP reference and any changed site conditions.
Why does TOALP matter so much for repeatability?
Because DJI waypoint height is calculated from take-off. If you launch from a different take-off point, or fail to set TOALP correctly when take-off is different from the first waypoint, the mission can fly at the wrong real-world height even if the route shape is correct.
What does the flight converter do?
The flight converter imports DJI flight telemetry, starting with SRT and enhanced by LRF where available, and turns that route into an editable repeatable waypoint mission. It is ideal for recreating successful manual shots later.
Will an imported flight perfectly match the original manual flight?
Not perfectly. The aim is a close, practical recreation within DJI waypoint behaviour and aircraft limits. Smoothing, turn interpolation and real-world conditions can all affect the result.
Do I still need to check airspace and geofencing if the mission exports?
Yes. Successful export does not mean the route is legal or flyable. Always verify current airspace, permissions, NOTAMs and manufacturer restrictions immediately before flight.
Can I use DroneGo.io outside the UK?
Yes, but local laws differ by country. UK-first guidance may be helpful, but users must check their own local aviation authority requirements and operating rules.
Still unsure?
Think of DroneGo.io as a professional planning workspace: useful for shaping, previewing and repeating routes, but never a substitute for pilot judgement.
DroneGo.io provides planning tools only. The remote pilot remains fully responsible for safe and lawful operation at all times.
