Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need a license to fly a drone?

For agricultural drones above 2 kg, you need a Remote Pilot Certificate (RPC) from DGCA. Under the Drone Rules 2021, agricultural spraying drones in the 'Yellow Zone' require prior DGCA approval.

How often should I fly NDVI surveys?

Critical growth stages: at tillering/vegetative growth, flowering, and grain/fruit fill. For high-value crops (grapes, tomato), fortnightly surveys are recommended during the growing season.
