Safety management for commercial drone operations
DroneSMS guides commercial operators through hazard assessment, flight preparation, crew coordination, and job closeout. When the work is complete, it creates a professional PDF operations packet.
FAA Part 107 / ICAO SMS informed / Built for field operations
Infrastructure inspection
The difference
Most commercial operators have flight logs and preflight checklists. Far fewer have one consistent record showing what hazards were identified, what decisions were made, who was briefed, and how the job concluded.
The workflow
DroneSMS organizes the process without turning fieldwork into paperwork.
Enter the client, location, aircraft, crew, service type, and planned flight date.
Complete the applicable hazard assessment, airspace review, preflight checks, crew briefing, and operational documentation.
Generate a version-stamped PDF packet for your company files, client, insurer, or other authorized stakeholder.
The operations packet
Operation summary and crew assignment
Job Hazard Analysis and risk controls
Airspace and authorization record
Preflight inspection and crew acknowledgments
Incident or no-incident closeout
Supporting records and photographs, when applicable
Completed forms are time-stamped and retained with the applicable template version, creating a clearer record of what was known, decided, and completed.
For commercial operators
DroneSMS is designed for solo pilots and growing UAS companies performing inspection, cleaning, mapping, infrastructure, and other commercial work.

DroneSMS is designed to produce more consistent operational records covering hazards, training, crew coordination, and corrective actions.
[email protected]Why DroneSMS exists
DroneSMS is modeled after the four pillars of aviation Safety Management Systems: Safety Policy, Safety Risk Management, Safety Assurance, and Safety Promotion.
Operators do not need to study SMS terminology or work through an airline-style system. The sophistication stays behind a plain-language, guided workflow designed for everyday Part 107 operations.
Built from field experience
I'm Bryce, an FAA Part 107 remote pilot, Army veteran, and safety professional with experience in regulatory fieldwork, inspections, risk assessment, and emergency response. I hold a degree from Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University focused on occupational and aviation safety.
I built DroneSMS to make rigorous aviation safety practices practical, understandable, and usable in everyday commercial drone operations.
Limited beta
DroneSMS is preparing for a limited beta with commercial operators interested in testing real-world workflows and providing direct feedback.
