How we research and review.

Choosing the right source

Specifications, rules, compatibility, availability, and commercial terms should come from the strongest suitable current source. We use manufacturer documentation and government material for factual details, then use reliable independent evidence to understand limits and real-world context.

• Primary sources for rules and specifications
• Current dates for facts that can change
• Direct links when readers may need to verify
• Clear uncertainty instead of assumptions

Showing the evidence level

Pages distinguish official-source research, documented third-party evidence, documented aircraft-owner experience, hands-on observation, and controlled comparison. We use a stronger label only when that work actually took place.

Being honest about testing

Research from a desk is not a flight test. We will not imply ownership, flight time, measured range, battery testing, or original photography unless we can support the claim. Supplied or loaned equipment will be disclosed, and access never guarantees a positive conclusion.

Correcting mistakes

When an important factual error is found, we aim to correct it promptly and reconsider any conclusion affected by it. A helpful correction includes the page, the statement in question, the date it was seen, and a current primary source when available. Readers can report a possible factual error at hello@dronereviewed.com.

Keeping pages current

Prices, firmware, app support, product availability, rules, and affiliate terms can change. We check them close to publication and review them according to how quickly the underlying information can change. A modified date changes only when the visible content or its supporting evidence changes meaningfully.
