 # ❓ Frequently Asked Questions ❓
+
+# Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
+
+## Q. What problem do we solve with DroneTM?
+
+**Enhancing Emergency Response**
+We address the need for faster and more precise deployment of drones during
+emergencies, enabling improved resource allocation and decision-making
+to ensure quicker and more effective crisis management.
+
+**Empowering Local Communities**
+We solve the challenge of limited access to real-time aerial data
+by equipping local communities with insights that enhance disaster
+preparedness, support local initiatives, and enable informed decision-making.
+
+**Optimizing Operational Efficiency**
+We tackle inefficiencies in drone operations by streamlining tasking,
+reducing manual interventions, and minimizing resource wastage, resulting in cost and time savings.
+
+**Streamlining Access to Drone Data**
+We eliminate barriers to accessing drone data by providing a centralized
+platform, ensuring critical information is easily available to stakeholders for better decision-making.
+
+---
+
+## Q. How do I get started with DroneTM?
+
+You can contribute to DroneTM in multiple ways:
+
+1. If you have a DJI Mini 4 Pro drone, you can choose nearby projects, capture images, and upload them.
+2. If you need drone imagery for your locality, you can create a project with the necessary details.
+3. If you're a developer, you can fork the project and contribute
+   to its development. We encourage starting with tickets labeled as “good first issue.”
+
+---
+
+## Q. What are the outputs I get from DroneTM? Are they raw drone imagery or the processed data like orthophotos and surface models?
+
+Currently, only processed data is available for download. The final outputs include:
+
+- **2D Orthophoto**
+- **Digital Terrain Model (DTM)**
+- **Digital Surface Model (DSM)**
+
+---
+
+## Q. Do I need an OSM account or need to create a new account to contribute to DroneTM?
+
+No, you don’t need an OSM account. You can simply sign up using your Google account.
+
+---
+
+## Q. What if the project area of my project is large and needs multiple flight operations?
+
+DroneTM divides large project areas into multiple tasks, allowing you to adjust the area per task.
+**Note:** The maximum project area allowed is 100 sq. km.
+
+---
+
+## Q. What if my project creation contains no-fly zones?
+
+During project creation, you can specify that the project area includes
+no-fly zones. There is a feature to draw these zones on the project map, and the flight plan will exclude any specified no-fly zones.
+
+---
+
+## Q. Can I use any drones to contribute to DroneTM or are there any specifications of drones?
+
+Currently, DroneTM is tested on **DJI Mini 4 Pro**, and flight plans are optimized for its camera specifications.
+However, the system is compatible with any DJI drones that support waypoint features, such as:
+
+- **Mavic 3/3P/3C**
+- **Air 3/3S**
+- **Mini 4 Pro**
+
+Users can also download the **GeoJSON** of the task area, load it into their
+drones, and create custom flight plans as per the specifications provided by the project creator.
