Lithos-Skyline T/A Richard Savage

Firstly, welcome to my site. Ever since being a child, I have had a passion for all things that fly, a passion for the environment and for taking photos. Flying drones is the perfect mix for me.

An unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV), commonly known as a drone, is an aircraft without any human pilot, crew, or passengers on board.

Modern civilian drones in the main can weigh as little as 249g and up to 25kgs, and are powered by batteries that are rechargeable.

Presently, I fly two drones. These are the DJI Mavic Mini and the DJI Air2s. The Mavic Mini is excellent for close up work as its only 249g, the Air2s is slightly heavier and takes slightly better photos and videos.

All commercial operators need a CAA Operator ID, this has to be marked on every drone. Drone pilots also take a multiple choice, 40 question test. Upon passing, you are issued a Flyer ID and allowed to fly in A1 & A3 categories. To fly commercially, you must also have A2 COFC and insurance. I hold all of the minimum requirements and hold cover insurance of £1,000,000.00, this allows me to fly in all "Open Airspace". 

We offer a range of services to meet every type of need. These mainly consist of the following:

• Construction site aerial photos, either monthly through the life cycle of the project, or alternatively when the project has been completed for your own website. Please look at our blog post titled "Bamber Bridge Construction Site".
• Aerial marketing photos for Estate Agents
• Rooftop surveys for landlords, homeowners and businesses.
