FLIGHT FAQ's
 
ARE YOU LICENSED & QUALIFIED TO OPERATE COMMERCIALLY?
Yes. We have “permissions for aerial work” granted by the C.A.A and hold suitable qualifications granted by the Civil Aviation Authority. Our normal drone however does not require any CAA permissions or qualifications. 

 
ARE YOU INSURED?
Yes. As long as we adhere to operating guidelines and rules laid out by the C.A.A.

We're fully insured and also have public liability cover.
 
CAN YOU FLY IN ANY WEATHER?
Unfortunately, we cannot fly in the rain, fog or snow! Strong winds can also be a problem however, we use a smooth camera gimbal which delivers very smooth shots. Please see our terms and conditions for weather issues. 

 
CAN WE FLY INDOORS?
We can however it requires careful planning. 

 
HOW MANY PEOPLE OPERATE THE EQUIPMENT?
Just one pilot but sometimes we need a spotter or assistant. 

 
HOW LONG CAN WE FLY FOR?
We can fly for up to around 30 minutes on a single battery, after which time we need to land the drone to change the power supply. We have enough batteries to stay airborne all day. 

 
WHAT IS THE HEIGHT, RANGE & SPEED OF THE DRONE?
We're only permitted to fly up to 400ft, however we can apply for extended heights on a job-by-job basis if flying higher is required. We can fly out to 500m giving us a 1km radius. The fastest the drone travels is 35mph. We need to maintain line of sight with the drone at all times.
