PROFESSIONAL DRONE SERVICES

We operate under an enhanced OA (Operational Authorisation), known as an OSC (Operating Safety Case). This enables us to fly down to as little as 10m away from the public whilst using all of our fleet of aircraft. The standard drone rules in the UK state a maximum altitude of 400ft and a 500m distance from the operator. We can extend the altitude to 600ft for projects where needed. We regularly operate in airport FRZ (flight restriction zone) airspace and other restricted airspaces in London and military areas. We have a fast-track method of obtaining these permissions garnered over our ten+ years of operating drones commercially.

Yes, we have complete specialist drone public liability of £10,000,000. All of our airborne and ground equipment is covered too. We have insured camera packages and sensors with values over £250k in the air. Get in touch if you have a camera or sensor you’re looking to fly.

We can fly in up to 35mph winds and light rain but this depends on the drone and payload we’re using. The lower the wind and rain, the better.

We closely monitor the weather leading up to the shoot and communicate any findings that may make flying not possible with the client. The final call is then up to the client. We have a 24-hour cancellation policy which is covered in our terms and conditions; we send this on confirmation of the work.

This depends on the drone in question. FPV drones can punch out over 100mph!  We can reach speeds of 40-50mph quite comfortably on the Inspire 3.

If the people are within the production and have been safety briefed, we can fly as close as 2m to them. Typically, a drone operator would require a take-off/landing clearance of 30m and then 50m during flight of people, buildings and congested areas that are not under the control of the pilot. We have an enhanced permission known as an OSC (operating safety case) from the CAA which reduces our distance down to as little as 10m.
