The CAA (Civil Aviation Authority) is the UK’s aviation regulator, they’re the acting body that ensures the aviation industry meets the highest safety standards. We’re qualified to fly the largest models of drones.

The CAA’s regulatory regime covers the safety of flying and certain standards in the training and examination environment, ensuring that their pilots are knowledgeable about flight procedures & legislations.

To be CAA Licensed means that its operators can pilot a wider variety of drones & fly in more environments than other members of the general public & provides a verification that they’re experienced & knowledge of lawful & safe drone piloting conduct.

We have worked on a variety of projects, from the southern shorelines of Cornwall, urban landscape of London to the rugged highlands of Scotland. This means we’re experienced in working with a wide range of challenging environments from navigating urban construction to the various natural environmental challenges.

We are willing to travel the necessary distance to provide our services to where ever we are needed and can have multiple pilots working at different locations simultaneously.

At The Drone Ranger we take health & safety very seriously and have an incident free safety record to show for it. We always extensively prepare for every project with written risk assessments written before & on location & communication to local ATC (Air Traffic Controls), NOTAM’s (Notice to Airmen) & alert neighbouring bodies to our conduct that everyone is aware of where we are and what we’re doing. Equipped with our own company PPE equipment, these permissions & strict conduct we ensure that everyone is aware of what we are doing & work carefully to ensure there are never any unnecessary risks on sight.

We have worked with all the major airports, railway, prisons, at sea & always work with the relevant agencies to gain the relevant permissions beforehand.
