About Us

Our Vision and Values

Flight Insight launched in 2016 and our focus was on manned aviation, auditing safety, and risk management services creating industry leading practices.

Fast forward to 2019 our clients asked us to take that vision and focus into Drone/RPAS Airspace Management and we did with our continued passion.

Today we are one of North America’s leading Unmanned Traffic Management SaaS platforms The Flight Insight Portal.

We continue to meet their auditing services while striving every day to build better tools, leverage technology and bring our expertise to unmanned and manned aviation safety.

Our Safety Philosophy
