Specific country regulations are covered within the book, including those of the USA, Australia, the United Kingdom, Europe, and India.

Safety awareness is a central theme throughout the book, emphasizing the importance of safety principles in drone operations to prevent accidents and mitigate risks. It underscores the importance of safety protocols, encourages thorough risk assessments, outlines emergency procedures, and promotes responsible flying practices.

The book is structured into multiple chapters, each dedicated to specific aspects of drone operations, ranging from an introductory overview to detailed discussions on types of drones, drone regulations across different countries, and performing operational inspections on remote operated systems. It covers topics such as the impact of weather on drone flights, aircraft loading, managing human factors, and conducting aerial searches. Additionally, it delves into aspects like communication, navigating remote pilot systems, and the energy source requirements of remote pilot aircraft systems. The book also explores commercial and industrial applications of drones, providing a comprehensive guide for readers involved in drone operations.
