CAN I BE INVOLVED IN THE PROCESS?
You do not have to be present at the site, although you may choose to attend if you wish. Our imagery is transferred to the pilots control system allowing the client to see the image in capture. Please note minimum social distancing rules currently apply, so we are unable to offer demonstration flights at this time.
HOW LONG CAN YOU FLY?
Average flight times on our multi-rotor aircraft is about 24 minutes, ranging up to a maximum of 50 minutes for our fixed wing aircraft.. We carry a number of batteries to each location and it is quick to reload and get back in the sky.
DO YOU FLY IN HIGH WINDS OR RAIN?
We do not fly in high winds or rain. We can fly in conditions with gusts up to 22mph.
For our videography services, we recommended shooting aerial footage in up to 15mph wind gusts for the smoothest results.
WHAT IF BAD WEATHER OCCURS ON THE DAY?
We monitor the weather forecasts in advance of any booking. If we have cause for concern, we will contact the client a minimum of 24 hours before flight is due.
Weather is a known uncertainty in the UK so we make ourselves as adaptable as possible to ensure that all bookings can be satisfactorily rearranged.
