Common questions from city officials and administrators about the platform.
SkyTrade automates FAA compliance checks, provides real-time airspace monitoring, and creates permanent audit trails for every permit and operation. The system flags potential conflicts with restricted zones, notifies relevant departments, and maintains detailed logs that demonstrate due diligence. Safety rules are built into the workflow, so staff can't accidentally approve unsafe operations.
We collect only what's necessary for safe operations: flight paths, operator credentials, permit details, and operational logs. All data is encrypted in transit and at rest, stored in immutable logs for accountability, and subject to your city's retention policies. No video, audio, or biometric data is collected. The system is designed with privacy-by-default principles and can integrate with your existing data governance framework.
Yes. SkyTrade uses standard GIS formats (GeoJSON, Shapefile, KML) and can connect to Esri ArcGIS, QGIS, and most municipal mapping systems. For 911 dispatch, we provide real-time data feeds compatible with CAD systems like Hexagon, Motorola, and Tyler Technologies. Our API allows custom integrations with your existing city infrastructure, and we provide technical support during implementation.
Most cities are operational within 30 days. The process includes: initial configuration (1 week), staff training (1-2 weeks), system integration with your GIS and other tools (1-2 weeks), and a pilot period with hands-on support. We provide comprehensive training materials, live workshops, and ongoing technical assistance. Larger cities with complex requirements may need additional time for custom integrations.
