User-Defined Alerts

The User-Defined Alerts tab allows users to create, edit, and delete alerts based on specific geozones and flight parameters. These alerts help monitor for UAS activity that meets defined conditions such as altitude, location, speed, or aircraft type. Users can also view reports of all flights that have triggered these alerts for tracking, investigation, or compliance purposes.
