Pixel Swarm Drones - Commitment To Safe Drone Light Shows

MIAMI - Jan. 5, 2025 - PRLog -- Drone Light Show Safety is paramount. In order to be permitted to operate within the USA, a drone light show operator must have a current FAA Part 107 (107.29 / 107.35) waiver. Issuance of a waiver signifies that an operator has demonstrated an understanding of identifying hazards and has a plan in place to mitigate risks associated with said hazards.

When choosing a drone light show operator the following questions should be asked. The answers below are the approach followed & recommended by Pixel Swarm Drones.

Q: Who produces your animations?

A: We contract our drone manufacturer to produce the animations for our shows. We proudly operate UVify IFO drones. The IFO has tens of thousands of hours of safe flights around the world. Provided safety measures and protocols are adhered to, the system is rock solid.

Q: How much distance is needed for a geo fence breach emergency landing?

A: If drones cross the geo fence they may still have significant momentum and can land outside the geo fence. A good rule of thumb is to use a 2:1 ratio. The separation between the edge of a geo fence and the audience should be 2 times the height of the show.

Tip: Ask your operator if enough space is being accounted for between the audience and the geo fence. Confirm that there is a plan in place to clearly mark boundaries and to restrict access to the show performance area.

Q: Do you "hover test" on-site before the show?

A: Yes, we perform multiple iterative rounds of hover testing and calibration as needed until all drones have passed safety validations. If a drone does not pass, it is swapped out with another drone. We allocate a substantial amount of time and resources for hover testing. We use a separate set of batteries for hover testing. We do not rush or skip hover testing to conserve battery usage and effort.

Note: Hover testing along with telemetry validation is used to determine if a drone is in good working order, mechanically sound and properly calibrated for the local environment,
Tip: Ask your operator if every drone is hover tested before the flight.
