CAA LICENSED DRONE PILOT

The latest drone technology can provide a truly fresh & unique perspective to your project.

Craig is a fully trained & insured drone operator with an Operational Authorisation from the CAA (Civil Aviation Authority) to carry out higher-risk operations throughout the UK & the EU in the new ‘Specific Category’ for aerial filming, photography & surveying. This means that we’re able to do more, get closer to the action & access areas that other drone pilots operating in the ‘Open Category’ simply cannot.

Check to see if your Drone Operator is on the Official CAA Drone Safe Register.

Please note, drones cannot fly in wet or windy conditions & it may not be possible to fly in specific locations or at certain times due to legal restrictions or military/civilian airspace activity. Pre-deployment Operational Planning Surveys, airspace checks, risk assessments & land owner permissions are all legally required prior to conducting any flight.
