Safety and enforcement boundaries at drone performance sites

The drone light show is an outdoor aerial activity. Stable delivery depends not only on the pattern design, but also on the venue, weather, personnel division of labor and on-site process cooperation.

Take-off and landing area

The take-off and landing area needs to be relatively open, easy to control, and have clear boundaries with the audience area, stage area, and vehicle access.

weather window

Strong winds, rainfall, low visibility and other conditions will affect execution arrangements. It is recommended to prepare backup time or adjust the mechanism in advance for important activities.

On-site environment

Surrounding buildings, high-voltage lines, trees, water surfaces, lights, electromagnetic environment and personnel movement lines all need to be confirmed before execution.

Division of labor

Organizers, venue, security, stage execution and drone teams need to have clear contacts, timelines and on-site responsibilities.

Implementation principles

Don’t sacrifice safety judgment in order to rush to the node

Whether a performance should be performed or not should be judged based on the on-site weather, venue conditions, personnel control and project plan.
Temporarily changing the map, compressing the inspection time, and temporarily adjusting the take-off and landing area near the event will increase execution risks.
Matters involving venue, security, fire protection, airspace and organizer procedures need to be communicated in advance and the formal plan shall prevail.
