We are here to make your job easier – and your airport safer.
Meeting FAA airport inspection requirements is a heavy load for operations teams and failure to comply not only jeopardizes safety but can result in costly fines and closures.
The Essential Aero platform, powered by artificial intelligence and a high-fidelity data capture system, automates aerial inspections – improving safety, operations, reporting, and record-keeping while drastically reducing the time and resources spent on risk detection.
