check Skyvector for TFRs and NOTAMs, check Airmap for restricted airspace, send a LAANC to the local ATC, check local weather, and finally check the flight area

check Skyvector for TFRs and NOTAMs, check Airmap for restricted airspace, send a LAANC to the local ATC, check local weather, and finally check the flight area for obstructions. That is literally it. That sure is a lot of military-sounding acronyms which I haven't the slightest idea what they stand for to end that with, "that's literally it". If I was to guess, you have experience in piloting airplanes, and flying a drone would be in comparison, a lot simpler, but it doesn't sound simple.
