In this video, Dylan Gorman, one of the most respected technical voices in the drone industry, takes viewers through a real “day in the life” on a $3,500 Raad solar mission. The walkthrough highlights what changes when pilots are supported by a platform designed for scale, quality, and repeatability.

Rather than chasing clients, negotiating scope, or worrying about deliverable standards, the pilot experience is focused on execution: clear mission parameters, defined outputs, and professional expectations. Site access, compliance requirements, flight plans, and data specifications are handled upstream so pilots can do what they do best, capture high-quality data.
