# Fly a Drone

{% hint style="info" %}
The app can only execute missions on drones with [Support for Mission Execution](/home/fieldagent-mobile-ios/requirements/dji-drones.md#support-for-mission-execution).
{% endhint %}

***

## Motivations

* You have a flight plan and equipment capable of flying your drone with the app.
* You prefer FieldAgent Mobile's "photo clicks" over DJI's apps.

***

## Steps

From the [Flight Planning](/home/fieldagent-mobile-ios/60-second-guides/fly-a-field-boundary.md) screen:

1. Power on and connect your drone.
2. Wait for the Status to change to Ready.
3. Tap on the Status List to review any warnings.
4. Tap on the Play button to start the Preflight Checklist.
5. Once the mission is uploaded, tap the Launch button.
