Aviation

Doria follows every flight from wheels up to landed, puts aircraft on the same map as the ground teams they support, and checks crew duty and licences before an aircraft leaves the ground.

missed check-ins left to someone's memory: an overdue aircraft raises its own alert at base

Aircraft are the fastest eyes a conservancy has. They find carcasses, count herds, spot fires and fly the injured out. They also fly low, far from help, over country with few places to land. Most operations still follow those flights by radio call and a log on the wall, keep crew hours in a spreadsheet, and hand what the pilot saw to the ground by word of mouth.

Doria's aviation module puts every flight on the same live map as the ground teams. The base sees where each aircraft is and what stage it has reached, every check-in is counted, and a missed one raises an alert on its own. Before take-off, the pilot's duty time and licences are checked, so a flight that shouldn't go is stopped while the aircraft is still on the ground.

Four pillars of air operations
for conservation flying

Flight Following
Every flight opens with its aircraft, pilot and mission, from fire response to anti-poaching patrols. The base sees each aircraft's position and stage, and a missed check-in raises an overdue alert.
Flight Following
Crew Duty & Licences
Duty time, licences and medicals are tracked for every pilot. A flight that would break a limit is stopped before it starts, and any override is signed off and recorded.
Crew Readiness
Census From the Air
Observers log what they count in flight against the aircraft's own track. Each survey leaves with its flight line and its observations together, ready for the analysts on the ground.
Aerial Census
Medevac & Landing Places
Strips, landing zones, fuel and hazards on one shared map, and medevac cases that pass a patient's details securely to the team waiting on the ground. In development.

The Problem

Flying
Alone

01 / 04

  1. Each call is a time and a rough position in someone's handwriting. When one is missed, a person has to notice the gap first. The search then starts from the last position anyone remembers.

  2. Duty time, licences and medicals live in separate files, kept by different people. Nobody checks all three before a short-notice launch. A tired pilot looks the same as a rested one on a whiteboard.

  3. Each side works from its own map. The fastest asset a conservancy has often arrives with the least shared context.

  4. Aerial surveys cost fuel, flight hours and crew. The numbers are written down apart from the flight line that gives each one its place. Matching them up later is slow, and some never are.

How It Works

Every
Flight

01 / 04

  1. Each flight moves through wheels up, on patrol, inbound and landed on the command map. An overdue aircraft is one tap from its last known position. If an aircraft or its tablet falls into the wrong hands, command can cut it off in one step.

  2. Doria checks the pilot's duty time, licence and medical when the flight is opened, and again at take-off. Any override needs a senior sign-off and a reason. Both go on the record with the flight.

  3. Patrols, incidents and aircraft share one command picture. Base sees where each aircraft is and what stage it has reached without waiting for a radio call. Everyone works from the same ground truth.

  4. Observers record what they see in flight, and each entry keeps its place on the line. When the aircraft lands, the track and the counts export together for analysis. The track itself shows if anyone alters it later.
