What does an aerial applicator need before the plane loads?
Get the pilot everything on one sheet — fields, boundaries, mix, and target — before the phone-tag starts. Free from the FieldCommandCenter agronomy team.
The short answer
Aerial applicators lose more time to bad handoffs than bad weather: a field described as “the 80 past the white barn,” a rate texted as a photo of a scribbled note, a mix that changes after the plane is loaded.
The growers who get sprayed first are the ones whose request arrives complete — a map the pilot can fly from, exact products and rates, real acres, and the hazards called out — in one document that doesn't change after it's sent.
What's in the full guide
- Why aerial runs on different physics — carrier volumes and rates
- The one-sheet request: map, mix, acres, and hazards
- Boundaries a pilot can actually fly from
