DO NOT HIRE UNLICENSED DRONE PILOTS

Anyone flying drones for commercial work must be licensed by the CAA and if they are not they will not have public liability insurance.

  • CAA approval requires the the drone pilot to:

    request the landowners signed permission to fly

    follow operations manual instructions 

    carry out a pre flight site surveys

    complete a risk assessment

    check airport notifications

    monitor up to date weather conditions

    maintain flight and maintenance logs

    fly within the CAA restrictions

    – up to 400ft

    – within 500m and within line of sight

    – no nearer than 50m of people, vehicles and buildings (unless in my control)

    This may seem overly fussy BUT an unmanned aircraft (even a small one) has the capability to cause a major incident!
