Aircraft evidence
Models in the current roster
The roster marks DJI Matrice 30T and Matrice 4T aircraft active. It also contains a defunct Matrice 4T entry. A separate equipment-history tab lists a DJI Mini 3 as acquired/in service but does not reconcile it with the current roster, so PSAIR does not state a complete active fleet count.
Source and limits: Avery County Sheriff’s Office, UAS Program Activity System workbook, supplied directly to PSAIR on September 29, 2026. The 2024 and 2025 summaries were compiled retrospectively in September 2026 from logged records, rather than contemporaneous annual reports. PSAIR checked annual counts and minutes against the flight log. This public summary omits incident rows, locations, personnel, identifiers, tactics and other operational detail. It is a dated agency record, not a statewide census or procurement signal.
