DJI Mavic Air 2: Safety, Professionalism, and Affordability

When it comes to establishing yourself as a drone professional and promoting your drone business it has become clear that insurance is essential. Regardless of the mission, securing a client is always easier to do when you can prove that the right coverage is in place. However, at what expense right?

As a safe pilot with no claims we know that paying for insurance you may never use is a drag. Unfortunately, this is the name of the game and it is always better to be safe than sorry. Bearing this in mind, SkyWatch.AI has always prioritized rewarding safe pilots in the best way possible: paying less. As a pilot practicing safety measures, your drone flight logs are sure to prove your efforts.  

By analyzing your flight’s telematics, including but not limited to, battery life at landing, distance from operator to drone, and obstacle avoidance, our unique algorithm gives each flight an appropriate score. The average score becomes known as your Safety Score and grants you discounts on your insurance premiums.

Mavic Air 2 Safety Features

APAS 3.0:

• By enabling the Advanced Pilot Assistance System, if the drone approaches a potential obstacle it will create a new flight path in order to avoid a collision. 

Increased Battery life:

• The Mavic Air 2 can operate for a maximum of 34 minutes, giving pilots more time to capture the right shot and still bring the drone back down with enough battery. 

AirSense:

• This is the first DJI model to use advanced aviation surveillance technology to provide pilots with warnings about additional aircraft in the flying vicinity. This technology, known as ADS-B, receives signals from airplanes and helicopters in the vicinity, and then displays their location on the pilot’s control screen. Warning pilots about other aircraft gives them enough time act accordingly and move the drone out of harm’s way. Read more about ADS-B here.

Obstacle sensors: 

• Located both on the front and back of the drone, the new and improved obstacle sensors warn pilots if they are near any dangerous objects. 

Auxiliary lights:

• These lights, along with additional sensors at the bottom of the drone allow for a smoother automatic landing.
