Flight planning

Plan the flight that gets
the data you actually need

Inspection flights fail in planning: wrong overlap for reconstruction, missed elevations, obstacles discovered on site. Atlas plans missions around what the inspection needs to capture — then exports them straight to your DJI controller.

Capabilities

Mission planning with inspection intent

The flight plan knows whether you're building a model, gridding a roof, or sweeping a facade.

Drone flight planning

Generate orbit, roof-grid, and facade missions around your subject, check them against obstacle zones, and export DJI-compatible waypoint files.

Mission-day readiness

Check site weather and flight-suitability signals before you drive out, and log conditions with each flight for the record.

3D models & orthophotos

Turn drone photos or video into interactive 3D models, orthophotos, and downloadable deliverables processed on cloud GPUs — no desktop photogrammetry rig required.

Georeferenced findings

Findings land on maps and an interactive 3D globe view, so repair crews know exactly where to go without re-flying the site.

Automatic photo organization

Uploads are sorted thermal vs optical, grouped by flight, and filed against the right project and building automatically — even full memory-card dumps.

Mobile field capture

The companion mobile app captures photos, notes, and flight details on site and syncs them straight into the right project.

Three mission types, one safety model

Orbit missions circle a structure for 3D capture; roof-grid missions lawn-mow a roof plane for full coverage; facade missions sweep elevations in vertical passes. All three generate from the same subject definition, validate against obstacle zones you define, and export as DJI-compatible waypoint files with correct drone and payload settings. AI-assisted plan review can suggest corrections — clamped to safety margins, never silently applied.

Fly-day confidence before the drive

A mission-day readiness view pulls site weather and flight-suitability signals, and pre-flight checklists keep the operation consistent across pilots. After the flight, logs with conditions attach to the project — the operational record that separates professional programs from ad-hoc flying.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Which drones can fly Atlas mission plans?

Atlas exports DJI-compatible waypoint files covering current DJI enterprise platforms, with drone and payload parameters mapped from DJI's own specifications. Unsupported models are flagged explicitly rather than exported wrong.

Does Atlas handle airspace authorization?

No — airspace information in Atlas is advisory context only. LAANC authorization and regulatory compliance run through your approved provider; responsibility stays with the pilot in command.

Can flight plans account for obstacles?

Yes — define obstacle zones around the site and every generated mission is validated against them, with intersections blocked rather than warned away.
