The use of various types of unmanned aircraft ‘drones’ has massively increased over the past few years. Drones have many uses - Utilities, Agriculture, Construction, Aerial Survey, Planning, Aerial Film & Photo to name just a few. Currently the UK has just under 1500 pilots with correct CAA permission. If flying a drone for private leisure, you do not require CAA permission but the pilot should take full responsibility for doing so safely. Using a drone for ‘paid aerial work’ requires you to hold correct CAA permission and carry valid insurance. Drone Safe Register holds a list of CAA approved drone operators [...]

More drone pilots than ever are now becoming trained and legal as Drone Safe Register tackles the use of illegal drones. Before Drone Safe Register launched back in November 2015 it was very clear the UK had a huge problem with drone pilots operating without CAA permission and correct insurance. Drone Safe Register has now targeted over 1.6 million adults with its short educational video receiving well over 500,000 views since launch. A very impressive number to say the least. Lack of public awareness was the main problem as the hiring public simply didn’t know the rules and so we are [...]

6 Things to Consider Before You Hire a Drone

1. Try to be flexible with the dates for filming Weather is a massive factor when it comes to hiring a drone. When you are looking to book a drone, try to be fully aware of the UK weather forecast and, if an unexpected storm comes in out of nowhere, understand the filming may have to be delayed. Scheduling a second date is a good idea in case the drone is unable to fly due to rain or wind. If you are hiring a drone to take aerial pictures at your wedding, there isn’t going to be a lot of room for dates to be flexible, but [...]

The Use of drones filming events this summer

Drones are fantastic but must only be flown at events by professionally trained pilots. All qualified pilots must attend ground school, complete an operations manual and be flight tested before the CAA will issue the pilot or company permission. Valid insurance is a must. No drones can be flown within 150 metres of gatherings of 1000 or more persons. If you have a group of 1000 persons or less, providing the group are within the pilots control the 150m rule is removed completely. This is why you will see even more close range drone footage pictured within the [...]
