Ownership

Firmware and storage: update from the official source and keep a record

An ownership routine for keeping aircraft software and storage decisions traceable.

BUYER QUESTION

How should I approach firmware, app updates and storing a drone between flights?

DIRECT ANSWER

Use official update instructions for the exact product, avoid changing several variables before a flight and record what changed with the date.

THE TRADE-OFF

A short record slows the setup down, but makes it easier to diagnose a concern without relying on memory.

The next sensible step

Check the official product support material, update when you have time to verify the outcome and store the aircraft as instructed.

  1. 01Use only official support channels for the exact aircraft and app.
  2. 02Record the update date and any observed change.
  3. 03Follow the manufacturer’s storage instructions for the complete kit.
