Post-Mission Reporting

    Return to Education Homepage

You must submit a report after each approved mission is conducted.  See the instructions below or watch the video to learn about post-mission reporting.

Submit a Report

Follow the steps below to submit a post-mission report.

  1. From home page, click on either "Manage Projects & File Project Flights" or "Manage & File Non-project Flights"
  2. Use the Search feature to find the desired flight request or scroll through the list of requests in the Manage Flights section
  3. Select the name of the desired request that you wish to create a report
  4. Click on the "Create Report" button found at the bottom of the report

All information from the flight request will be automatically entered into the created report. Information regarding the date, time and location may be edited to reflect any changes due to weather or ground hazards.

The following fields will be available to include in your post-mission report:

  • Duration (minutes) per flight: Input the flight duration in minutes per flight. Click on the ‘+’ sign to add additional flights to the report.
  • Takeoff and Landing Damages: Report any damages that occurred to the UAS upon takeoff and landing, including failed takeoffs or landings. If no damages occurred, write N/A into the text box to acknowledge that the aircraft suffered no physical damage.
  • Equipment Malfunctions: Select issues that may cause the drone to malfunction. If the issue is not listed, select “other.” A dialog will pop up for the user to enter specifics about the malfunction. Multiple may be selected.
  • Lost Link Events: List events that cause loss of connection between the UAS and various other controls and systems. If the issue is not listed, select “other.” A dialog will pop up for the user to enter specifics about the malfunction. Multiple may be selected.
  • Accidents/Mishaps: Enter any information regarding any incidents that may have occurred in the field. If the issue is not listed, select “other.” A dialog will pop up for the user to enter specifics about the malfunction. Multiple may be selected. Damages to persons, property, and equipment will be recorded here, but you must also follow the SOP for Accidents, Incidents and Events of Interest.

 

Save the report when completed. After selecting Save, you will be prompted to a draft page similar to the flight request page. From the page, the user can review entered information, and select  "Edit Report" or “Submit Report." There will also be the option to upload files.

If there is an accident, incident or event of interest that requires completion of Appendix B (SOP for Accidents, Incidents and Events of Interest), it should be uploaded to this page. When you have accurately completed the report, select Submit Report. Their summary page will update from "Request Approved" to “Report submitted”. Be sure to follow all other procedures as documented on the SOP.
