Hi Mavic Business Community!
I've been going through all of the legal steps to prepare to do business as a certified Part 107 pilot. I have my Part 107 certification, I established an LLC, have a law firm I work with regularly, have Articles of Organization, and currently am building up my flight hours and experience in the hopes that it will reduce the cost of liability insurance. I intend to buy year round insurance-not per flight.
My concern is that currently in the Chicagoland area conditions are almost always too cold or windy for safe operation according to the Mavic 2 Pro's manual and DJI's guidelines. I use Enterprise cold weather batteries, let my drone warm up, and follow the AirData affiliated OK To Fly service. It regularly will state that conditions are unsafe-and safety is a major concern for me, and selling point of my services.
How will flying in adverse conditions change the cost of liability coverage? I can only get quotes from a number of companies who require extensive information and (in some cases) a full application. I already have DJI's refresh for my hull coverage.
Last, is AirData and the available generated reports sufficient for a flight log, or should I be using an Excel spreadsheet in addition to AirData?
Thanks for your time & consideration!
Joe
