FAA Audit Assistance
Our FAA 137 step-by-step audit review assists ag drone operators in navigating the compliance process for agricultural aircraft operations.
We recommend operators use this guide to set up compliance from the beginning and maintain regulatory requirements, manual preparation, FAA ramp checks, and compliance strategies to ensure they meet FAA audit standards.
Crop Flight Logbook and Flight Management
A large part of aerial application compliance is keeping a logbook of all your drone flights. After servicing over 200 ag pilots, U.PASS recommends the ONLY U.S. created Crop Flight logbook to stay compliant without spending unnecessary costs on logbooks.
