About

DroneSky HR

Read full description

DroneSky HR is a detailed flight-planning app for drone pilots in Croatia. It brings weather conditions, flight-risk forecasts, precipitation radar, airspace information, UAS geo zones, and practical planning tools together in one place. Instead of checking multiple services before each flight, you can review conditions and restrictions directly on the map for your selected location. DroneSky HR helps answer the essential pre-flight question: are conditions suitable, and is flying permitted at this location? Key features: • Detailed drone-focused weather forecasts with wind, gusts, precipitation, visibility, and a practical assessment of flying conditions. • A 10-day flight-risk forecast to help plan filming, travel, and operational work in advance. • Detailed hourly wind forecasts by altitude for a better understanding of conditions during takeoff, flight, and landing. • Precipitation radar directly on the map. Review the previous 60 minutes of precipitation and forecast conditions for the next 2 hours using the timeline or animation. • An interactive map of Croatia with CTR and TMA areas, other airspace segments, UAS geo zones, dedicated No-Fly zones, national parks, and nature parks. • Clear alerts when your selected or current location is inside a UAS geo zone, national park, or nature park. • Toggle individual map layers, precipitation radar, weather conditions, and aircraft display for a cleaner and more focused map view. • Advanced location management: save favourite locations, organise them into folders, and sync them across devices and operating systems. • Share saved locations with Apple Maps and Google Maps, or open locations shared from Apple Maps and Google Maps directly in DroneSky HR to quickly review flight conditions and restrictions. • Pre-flight and post-flight checklists with saved records, history, and PDF report export. • Flight reminders and calendar integration for planned operations, depending on your app configuration. • Quick access to relevant regulations and official sources for drone operations and aerial photography in Croatia. DroneSky HR is designed for recreational drone pilots, professional operators, businesses, photographers, videographers, and anyone who wants to plan flights more responsibly. DroneSky HR provides informational support for flight planning. Before every flight, always check official sources, current UAS geo zones, NOTAM information, local restrictions, and applicable regulations.
