Flight Safety
Safety is our prime consideration for all flights. We undertake a series of procedures to ensure each flight can be conducted with minimum risk to persons or property.
These include risk assessments & method statements (RAMS), 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 that might pose a hazard to our flight., such as other aircraft and birds!
