Week 7

Since we are still unable to fly in the field we are still working on posters and doing dry runs. This week poster work was the main focus. Me, Kyle, and Thomas are doing our poster on crew resource management and the big differences between Purdue's Drone Logbook and Measure. When looking at both the sites, Drone logbook seemed to have many more features. Checklists, times flown, operators, drones, inventory lists...etc the list goes on. It may need some more work to be more user friendly but it does have many useful features. We haven’t been able to use Measure so we don’t know what can go on the site. This impeded our ability to accurately judge both, the only aspect that we didn’t like was its lack of features. The site didn’t seem to have any tools, or at least any that we could find. We looked on Measures website to see what they claimed to have and still found nothing. On drone logbook we found a graphic with lots of claimed to have features. (Fig 1)

To us, this showed that drone logbook was able to advertise what their software could do, while Measures advertisement is much more broad and less specific. There were no specific graphics on their site that showed what it could do. But all this could only be due to the fact that we have not been able to utilize the software. We haven’t been able to fly yet so there could be features that are only accessible once flights have started. We will find out more once we have flights in. Below (Fig 2) is the beginning of what our poster is going to look like, we still need more data on CRM and both software's before we can make more concrete conclusions.
