Description

Whether you are a recreational drone pilot or a fully-fledged professional drone pilot, ok2fly™ is the drone safety tool you need for you next drone mission. ok2fly boasts the following functions:

1. Detailed visualization of runway splays and airport envelopes
- Splays and envelopes are clearly displayed so the pilot can identify boundaries between airspace inside and outside of the operational areas.

2. Extended radius review of the drone flight area
- ok2fly will survey not only the location you will be flying from, but the immediate area around you
- You can configure the visual flight radius to suit your planned flight operations

3. Street level vector map of the whole of Australia
- The ok2fly vector map details standard street map information as well relevant aviation details such as obstacles, low level aviation activities and recreational sites
- You overlay further information using the Layers option*.

4. Supports CASA RPAS Rules and Airspace Authorisation Trial
- ok2fly is fully compliant with the CASA RPAS Safety Rules and fully integrated with the CASA RPAS Platform.
- ok2fly was the first safety app to go live as part of the CASA / Airservices Australia Airspace Authorisation trial.

5. Detailed reporting beyond the basic “yes I can” or “no I can’t fly”
- To get a more thorough understanding of the operational environment ok2fly will analyses the airspace surrounding your location
- ok2fly will provide a location report detailing all known landmarks detected in the operational airspace

6. Configure to match your drone pilot qualifications
- ok2lfy supports the 3 drone pilot types defined by the CASA safety rules, namely Recreational, Commercial Excluded* and ReOC*
- From the settings function, set the pilot type to match your qualifications*

7. Map adjusts to reflect activity at proposed flight time
- If you are flying in 1-hour, 1-day or 1-week’s time, the operational environment may be different.
- When you set the proposed time of your flight, ok2fly will reconfigure all time-based objects to reflect their status at that time.

8. Real-time activation and visualization of Restricted and Danger areas
- ok2fly maintains an activity schedule for Restricted and Danger Area airspace and uses the schedule information to depict airspace as active or inactive.
- When set to current time mode airspace activates and deactivates automatically as the time-of-day progresses
- If you select a specific flight time, ok2fly will set the state of all airspace based on that time

9. Automatic visualisation of NOTAM activities effecting drone operations
- Activities include planned drone flights, from surface to above activities such as Low Jet Routes and TRA
- Other activities such as Rocket Launches and Fireworks displays may also be included
- 4D objects are used to represent the activity and included in flight queries where they intersect geographically, vertically, and temporally

10. Continuously updated NAIPS NOTAM information
- NOTAMS for Restricted and Danger airspace are available for inspection by the drone pilot*

11. Links to supplemental decision-making information
- The Information function of ok2fly contains a selection of relevant links for drone pilots
- Links to CASA, Airservices, BOM and AvSoft Australia are included

12. Radio frequency data for FIA and airport communications
- Access supplemental airfield information for flight planning and mission communication purposes*

13. Additional aviation data to aid drone flight planning
- ok2fly includes information on artefacts that aid with situational awareness
- This can include Schools, Local Parks, Beaches, Embassies, Prisons, Major Roads and Rail Lines.

14. AvSoft Australia is a CASA Part 175 approved data provider

What’s New

Version 1.5

Version 1.5 contains a number of updates.

1. The mapping engine software was upgraded to the latest SDK version. This was quite a large change and as a result you may notice some slight differences in the way the map behaves. Overall though, the look and feel is almost identical to previous versions of ok2fly™.

2. The app and backend support functionality now support the extended CASA Airspace Authorisation trial. This includes the ability to automatically authorise flights in the Sydney harbour restricted area R405 and Sydney airport (YSSY) envelope. Although this is principally a data update the changes made will facilitate the rapid incorporation of future Airports and Restricted areas as they are included in the trial.

3. Users are now able to measure distances on the map using a 2-finger tap and hold gesture. When the user executes the two finger tap and hold on the map, a ruler (dashed line) will be displayed. The ruler will be labelled with the distance in either Metres, Kilometres, or Nautical Miles between the ends. While maintaining the 2-finger touch, the user can position the ruler ends as appropriate by moving 1 or both fingers. The ruler label will be updated in response to any change to the ruler ends. To remove the ruler simply tap on the map.

4. An additional overlay has been added. The ACMA communications data now has a corresponding overlay that displays the known location of communications infrastructure. Infrastructure may be cell towers and any other communications apparatus that may constitute a potential hazard for UAV. Information is displayed as Red or Blue dots where Red indicates a location accuracy of within 10 metres and Blue corresponds to Unknown accuracy. The ACMA data is updated daily. Note: The overlay will be activated a short period after the app has been released.

Expensive

Speaking to other drone operators they all have used this app including me and we all have the similar attitude regarding the cost as it is simply ten times more than what we would be willing to pay. Makes me think how many sales would have been lost. If I developed the app I’d rather have 20 sales at 24.99 rather than 1 sales at 249.00. If it had other features like some components that competitors have perhaps it might be worth the cost but it doesn’t so we still need many other apps. If you look at it from a ReOC holders perspective it would be great if there was one stop to get all the details for a job analysis.

Information is comprehensive for commercial operators

This app is a one stop shop bringing together a range of Australian aviation information and maps all updated constantly to assist with planning RPA operations.

The CASA automated airspace approvals component is well designed for managing a large fleet of aircraft.

Commercial operators will appreciate the detail in the information!

Spreading CASA’s misinformation still

All these drone apps are useless. The majority of drones flying today are now sub 250g category. The rules/laws are totally different for this class but not one single drone app reflects this. Each developer blames CASA for not providing enough information when all they need to do is add a sub 250g category and associate it to the geo zones near controlled airports. It’s spreading misinformation which CASA is well known for.

Developer Response ,

Thanks for the feedback. You sound like you are aware we are constrained with the terms of the approval we have. We look forward to providing better information for the sub 250g category in the future.
