Consultancy

Which approvals a job actually needs, who issues them and how long they take. We hold DCAA and GCAA certification and apply for permits on every project we fly, including filming over public areas and occupied buildings, and NOC work on restricted sites. Where an operation falls outside standard permissions, we have delivered JARUS SORA risk assessments — the methodology used to authorise higher-risk flights such as BVLOS.

Which dock, aircraft, sensor and software to buy, and whether to buy at all. We are not a reseller and are not tied to a manufacturer, so the answer is sometimes that a service contract beats owning the kit.

What to capture, at what accuracy, how often, and how it reaches the people who need it. Specifying this badly is the common reason drone data gets collected and then never used in a decision.

An independent read on someone else’s deliverables: whether the accuracy claimed is the accuracy delivered, whether the coverage matches the scope, and whether you are being charged for work that is not being done.
