Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need any third-party software to access captured mission data?
HubX is supported by our proprietary software suite, Curo. This software platform is a one-stop shop for all functions and features of HubX and flight operations, including data delivery.
We can also deliver the data to your cloud storage solution directly.
Do I need a ReOC license or BVLOS approval to get HubX on my site?
If you’ve opted for our Managed Flight Services, you do not require a ReOC license or BVLOS approval as our team takes care of those internally. Operating HubX yourself requires a ReOC license and BVLOS approval when operating beyond a visual line of sight.
Our team can also facilitate EVLOS operations as a temporary solution while awaiting a BVLOS approval.
How do I apply for BVLOS certification?
BVLOS endorsements are only available to ReOC holders. Please find out more about the BVLOS certification process in our blog post.
