1. Why a software hub

Firmware does not change your EASA category — the remote pilot remains responsible.

Consumer apps, enterprise tools, FPV firmware and autopilots each have dedicated guides.

2. DJI Fly and Pilot 2

DJI Fly for Mini/Air/Mavic/Avata. Pilot 2 for Matrice enterprise missions.

3. FPV stack

Betaflight, INAV, ExpressLRS — failsafe and VLOS still matter in Open category.

4. Autopilots

ArduPilot, PX4, QGroundControl — often used with Specific category commercial ops.
