A drone pre-flight checklist is a vital checklist used to ensure legal and safe drone operations before flight. This checklist enables drone operators to perform a range of physical and functional checks and inspections to ensure there is no potential issue with the drone.

Depending on the type and function of the drone flight, the requirements of the checklist may vary. However, some general items are a part of every checklist and need to be covered under the Part 107 Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) regulations for small UAVs. According to these regulations, the drone pre-flight inspection checklist must ensure that the flying conditions and drone equipment are optimal for the flight.
Drone flight operators, managers, and drone operators use this checklist to prepare everything from document validation to physical checks before flying a drone. This checklist helps reduce the likelihood of physical injury, damage to flyways, property, expensive penalties, and lawsuits.
