Organized job context
Client, location, purpose, assignment, schedule, and operational notes can remain associated with the work.
Colony Core can support an operator's records. It does not make an operation compliant.
Compliance depends on current law, the specific operation, the remote pilot in command, aircraft condition, airspace, authorizations, waivers, people, weather, local rules, and other facts outside the software.
Educational information only—not legal advice. Operators must verify current requirements with the FAA and other applicable authorities before flight.
Product role
What structured operations can support
Structured flight records
Pilot, aircraft, equipment, timing, purpose, and other enabled fields can be recorded and reviewed in a consistent format.
Equipment history
Shared aircraft and battery records can support maintenance awareness and internal operating procedures.
Exports and review
Selected records may be exportable where enabled, supporting internal review or response to a legitimate request.
A field existing in software does not prove that it is complete, accurate, timely, legally required, or sufficient for a particular operation.
Operator responsibility
Examples of federal requirements the software cannot perform for you
Pilot qualification and currency
Part 107 operations require an appropriately certificated remote pilot or direct supervision, and the FAA requires recurrent training within the applicable 24-calendar-month period.
Registration and Remote ID
Part 107 operators register each drone, and registered or registration-required drones generally must comply with Remote ID unless an applicable exception or authorization applies.
Airspace authorization
Operations in applicable controlled airspace require prior FAA authorization, commonly through LAANC or DroneZone.
Safe flight decisions
The remote pilot remains responsible for preflight assessment, aircraft condition, operating limitations, people, visibility, weather, temporary restrictions, and safe execution.
Waivers and special authority
Operations outside the standard rule may require a waiver, exemption, authorization, or another operating framework.
Accident reporting
Part 107 requires qualifying accidents to be reported to the FAA within 10 days, including serious injury or loss of consciousness and specified property damage.
