Before we fly

Common questions, answered clearly.

Every site and operation is different. These are the practical points most customers want to understand first.

Can you fly in poor weather?

The Matrice 4TD has an IP55-rated airframe for demanding conditions, including rain. Every flight still depends on wind, visibility, airspace and a safe site assessment.

Do I need to arrange permissions?

We will explain what is needed. Flights are planned around the site, airspace, privacy, land access and the relevant operational permissions.

How is footage handled?

Client details, operational information and captured imagery are treated as confidential and retained only for as long as needed for the agreed work or applicable legal requirements.

What happens after I contact you?

We discuss the problem, location and urgency, check whether a drone can genuinely help, and explain the safest practical next step without a hard sell.

No hard sell—just a local conversation

What do you need from above?

Tell Keith what you need photographed, inspected or monitored, and where.

He’ll explain whether aerial support is practical and what it can realistically achieve.
