We fly our coal stockpiles every morning from a dock now. Volumes swing ±4% day to day even when nothing moved. What are others getting, and what fixed it? Ground control points? RTK? Better overlap?

We're putting two docks on rooftops for our drone-as-first-responder pilot. Has anyone here actually got a BVLOS waiver for a dock setup, not a pilot with a visual observer? Mainly want to know what the FAA pushed back on and how long it took.

Our substation dock has aborted 4 of the last 9 landings, every time the gusts go past ~10 m/s crosswind. The drone hovers, tries twice, then goes to the backup landing spot. Is that normal or is something off?

A few people asked after Forum, so here's our night-ops checklist. Two pages, nothing secret. The bit that saved us most: a lighting walk at dusk, because the ship floodlights move around depending on what's being loaded.

We run AI person-detection on night patrols at two sites. False alarms are about 3 per night, mostly animals and wind-blown plastic. What are your numbers, and what lowered them?

Newbie question: our shifts change at 6 and there's often a patrol mid-air. How do you hand over without someone missing something?

Hi all 👋 Sara here, I run Skyward Inspections in Gothenburg. We do blade and tower inspections offshore and are moving to docks on the platforms next year. Keen to meet anyone flying from vessels or platforms!
