Which of the following is NOT a recommended practice before flying?

  1. Checking battery levels

  2. Conducting a comprehensive visual inspection

  3. Advertising your flight on social media

  4. Ensuring the software is updated

The correct answer is: Advertising your flight on social media

Sharing details about your flight plans on social media is not a recommended practice before flying a drone. This action can potentially compromise safety and security. Broadcasting your flight can inadvertently alert individuals with malicious intent to your activities, which may lead to unwanted attention or even theft of the drone. On the other hand, checking battery levels, conducting a comprehensive visual inspection, and ensuring the software is updated are essential pre-flight practices that enhance safety and reliability. Verifying battery status ensures that you have adequate power for the flight duration, while a visual inspection can help identify any physical issues or damage to the drone. Keeping software up to date allows the drone to function optimally, as updates often include essential fixes and improvements that contribute to safe operation.
