Aerial Planning

Future aerial services planning, not an active launch.

This page organizes the roadmap for Keystone Aerial Services / aerial planning. It is for launch preparation, use-case research, equipment planning, licensing boundaries, safety process, and planning conversations.

Launch status

Aerial services are not officially launched yet. The current purpose is responsible planning: define what this could become, what must be true before launch, and what conversations are appropriate while the roadmap is still in development.

In development - future capabilities depend on equipment, licensing, insurance, location, safety process, and project requirements.
What this could become

Possible future services being evaluated.

These are planning categories, not active service offers. Each one depends on launch readiness and project-specific requirements.

Property documentation planning

Future visual documentation for properties, structures, lots, and progress records when launch requirements are met.

Inspection support concepts

Planning around roof, site, or structure documentation where equipment, permissions, and scope support responsible work.

Mapping and records

Future organized deliverables for site context, progress capture, and visual records.

Thermal use-case research

Researching thermal-capable use cases with equipment, training, legal, and project boundaries clearly defined.

Launch requirements

What needs to be ready before aerial work is presented as active.

The roadmap separates planning conversations from commercial availability.

Equipment planning

Select aircraft, batteries, storage, camera payload, thermal needs, maintenance routines, and field kit requirements.

Licensing / Part 107

Confirm licensing requirements, airspace awareness, operating limits, and compliance before presenting active services.

Insurance

Define insurance requirements and project boundaries before any client-facing aerial work is offered.

Safety process

Create preflight checks, site risk review, weather boundaries, battery process, and emergency steps.

Client intake process

Build a planning intake for location, scope, timing, airspace, property permission, deliverables, and constraints.

Operating area

Plan around Wilkes-Barre / Northeastern Pennsylvania while keeping travel, weather, permissions, and local requirements visible.

Roadmap

A clear path from concept to responsible launch.

This is the current planning sequence. It should evolve before any official aerial-services launch language is used.

  1. 1Clarify service boundaries and future use cases.
  2. 2Complete licensing, insurance, and equipment decisions.
  3. 3Build safety checklists and client intake workflow.
  4. 4Document sample deliverables and operating process.
  5. 5Decide when the concept is ready for an official launch.
