Enforce local rules and ordinances automatically. SkyTrade turns your drone ordinance into a working permit system: operators get authorized, flights get logged, and every commercial operation in your airspace leaves an audit trail you control.
Most cities already have a drone ordinance. The gap is execution. SkyTrade Regulate gives you the formal authority, structured conditions, and institutional records that turn policy into a permit operators actually apply for, and that your staff can review, approve, and audit.
Issue permits tied to a specific operator, location, altitude, and time window. Takeoff and landing on public property happens only under conditions you set.
Operators submit flight plans before flying and the platform checks them against your zoning rules, no-fly buffers, and active conditions automatically.
Every decision is logged and drone work can be commissioned through the city, giving you a defensible record for council reports and liability protection.
SkyTrade maps your local rules, zones, and conditions into the platform. Your ordinance becomes a structured set of requirements every application is measured against.
Commercial operators, survey crews, and DFR teams submit applications and flight plans through a defined workflow, with the information your staff needs already attached.
Each request is screened against zoning, no-fly buffers, and active conditions, so clear-cut applications move fast and edge cases land in front of a human reviewer.
Your manager issues a permit tied to a specific window, altitude, and corridor, attaches conditions, or denies the request, with the reasoning recorded.
Applications, conditions, approvals, and denials are recorded automatically, giving your city an immutable, defensible record of how its airspace is governed.
Regulate is built on Atlas, the foundation every SkyTrade jurisdiction starts with. It pairs naturally with Protect for live airspace visibility and Monetize for sustainable revenue. See how the three products fit together on the products overview.
