What are the weather constraints for drone flight?

Our enterprise assets like the Matrice 350 RTK are IP55 rated, allowing for operation in light rain and winds up to 12m/s. For high-precision surveying or thermal auditing, we recommend dry conditions for maximum data integrity.

Do you have permission for night drone operations?

Drone operations at night are possible subject to pilot qualification, site-specific risk assessment and operational safety requirements.

How quickly is drone survey data delivered?

Standard visual data is delivered within defined working days. Complex LiDAR point clouds or 3D digital twins typically require 3-5 business days for full processing and quality assurance.

Are you insured for high-risk drone environments?

Yes. We carry comprehensive Public Liability Insurance specifically tailored for commercial UAV operations in industrial and urban environments.

Do you handle NOTAMs and permissions?

As part of our mission planning, we manage all necessary NOTAMs, landowner permissions, and stakeholder notifications to ensure a fully compliant and friction-free deployment.
