Flight Safety
Safety is our prime consideration for all flights. We undertake a series of procedures to ensure each flight can be conducted without risk to persons or property.
These include risk assessments, site surveys, pre flight checks etc. During the flight our trained observers will ensure members of the public are kept at a safe distance from the area of operation.
Our observers will also bee keeping an eye on anything else in the air, such as other aircraft and birds, that would pose a hazard to our flight.
