Frequently Asked Questions
The CAA has strict guidelines for commercial drone operators. Operators must hold a valid Permission for Commercial Operations (PfCO), renewed annually. Pilots must have gained their licence to fly. The operator must be fully insured. See the most uptodate CAA guidelines.
We hold an Operational Authorisation and we are one amongst very few operators to also hold Operating Safety Case from the CAA which allows us to be closer to people in built up areas, where other operators may not be allowed. We hold £10 million public liability and £5 million Professional Indemnity. Crucially it is not just your work with the drone which needs insuring, you should also hold general Public Liability insurance, ours is £5 million.
See our list of Accreditations and Qualifications for further information.
A maximum wind speed of 22mph or 10m/s is a good guide for most medium sized drones. Weather conditions affect our drone work but also our sensors, which need dry weather with not too much humidity.
Although we have lots of spares and good recharging facilities, drone batteries have a reduced life in very cold weather.
We are very flexible, and constantly monitor the weather conditions. We keep our clients informed of potential issues with the weather conditions.
Because every job is unique costs range dramatically. We have to consider all the aspects of the work, it would be irresponsible not to.
