What is an equipment?

In FlyFreely, equipment refers to any mission-related items that don't fall under the 'RPA' or 'battery' categories. Examples can include:

Remote Control units
Ground stations
UHF / VHF Radios

Add new equipment

2. Select the equipment Category. For devices or items that don't fit under any existing category, select 'Other'.

3. Select Equipment Make and Equipment Model. If the make and model are not listed, select 'Not Listed' and enter the make and model.

4. Enter a name for this equipment. This is an internal designation for your reference and should be unique within your organisation.

5. Enter the Serial Number.

6. Enter the Current Firmware Version (optional ). If you don't have this information please leave blank.

7. Enter NFC ID (optional ). If you don't have this information please leave blank.
