Platform

Every record an inspector might ask for, in one place.

Flights, equipment hours, risk registers, incidents, training documents. FlybyOps unifies them under a single workspace so audits stop being a fire drill.

Projects & jobs

Scope work by site, draw project and job areas on the map, and roll up every flight, document and risk under the right operation.

Flight logging

Capture take-off, landing, distance, cargo, pilot and ground crew on every 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 and ground staff can flag risks in the field.

Incident reporting

File incidents against flights, jobs or aircraft, or anonymously for whistleblower-grade protection. Admins and the relevant project managers are notified automatically.

Equipment & maintenance

One registry for drones, controllers, batteries, chargers, PPE and SIMs. Flight hours land on the right airframe automatically.

Roles & site scoping

Five built-in roles. Pilots and ground crew only see jobs they're assigned to, so site-specific NDAs and contracts stay enforceable.

Document vault

Per-workspace storage for cargo manifests, permits, insurance and evidence. Server-side encrypted, quota-controlled, presigned at the edge.

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.

Roles

Built for everyone on the operation.

Pilots see jobs. Ops leads see projects they're assigned to. Managers see everything. Site-specific data stays within site-specific contracts by design, not by convention.

• Admin Full workspace control: billing, members, storage, every project and every record.
• Project Manager Owns projects end-to-end, invites pilots and ground staff, approves jobs and incidents.
• Operation Lead Drives execution on the projects they're assigned to. Never sees other sites' data.
• Pilot Logs flights against their assigned jobs, flags risks, submits jobs for review.
• Ground Staff Files incidents and risks in context, including anonymously when it matters.

Compliance & security

Defensible records, not just dashboards.

FlybyOps was designed with the same evidentiary standards regulators expect of you: scoped access, immutable history, encrypted-at-rest documents and an audit trail you can hand to legal without an asterisk.

Role-based access

Five workspace roles plus project- and job-scoped visibility. Ground crew never see other sites.

Append-only audit log

INSERT-only at the database level. Every mutation and sensitive read recorded, attributed, timestamped.

Encrypted document storage

AES-256 server-side encryption on every upload. Block-all-public access at the bucket layer.

Anonymous reporting

Whistleblower-grade incident reports: request metadata scrubbed, no reporter stored.

Flight Sync: available now

See every flight,second by second.

Flight Sync lights up the map as the aircraft flies: the full flight path, altitude profile, ground speed, battery and link quality, live while airborne, then replayable for audits, training and incident review. Connect a DJI controller today; more manufacturers are on the way.

• Full GPS path with takeoff, waypoints and landing
• Altitude, speed, battery and signal plotted over time
• Scrub the timeline and replay any segment of any flight
• Tied to the same flight record as documents, risks and incidents

Roadmap

The system of record, and the flights that fill it in themselves.

Phase 1 gave you the compliance backbone. Phase 2, Flight Sync, is live: connect a controller and flights log themselves.

Available

Phase 1: System of record

Manual flight logging, projects and jobs hierarchy, equipment registry, risk register, incident reporting, RBAC, document vault, audit log.

• Projects, jobs and flights hierarchy
• Risk register with SORA 5×5 scoring
• Anonymous incident reporting
• Per-workspace document quota
• Five workspace roles + site scoping

Available

Phase 2: Flight Sync

Connect a controller once and flights log themselves. No manual entry, no uploads. Telemetry streams into the platform live and renders on the map as the aircraft flies. DJI is supported today; more manufacturers are on the way.

• Automatic flight logging: pair once, then fly with the controller connected
• Live telemetry on the map while the aircraft is airborne
• DJI supported today, further providers in progress
• Flights land in the same record as documents, risks and incidents
