Local drone pilots near me
People commonly ask if there are any local drone pilots near me
There is a need to quickly find a supplier and there is a need to find more than 1. Although there are thousands of registered drone pilots throughout the UK not all of them can be found. This leaves people searching Google and struggling with low quality results. Our answer is CAS listed.
Not all pilots are the same
For a person or business to offer commercial aerial services they must be authorised by the Civil Aviation Authority and be covered by holding Public Liability Insurance. Each pilot has documented paperwork from the CAA which can be checked both through our Drone Pilot verification tool and the CAA’s beta tool.
Just having insurance does not mean that the pilot is adequately covered so make sure their liability value meets the project requirements. Flying a drone near to or over expensive items and people is a skilled task which a fully trained and qualified pilot can successfully and consistently undertake.
Local will be cheaper but will it be the best?
Finding a local drone pilot near you may not always be the best option. This certainly holds true when specialised equipment and experience is needed. For general aerial photography and video capture your costs will be lower using a local operator.
The drone pilot search engine makes it as easy as possible for everyone to find pilots near them or further away should the need arise. Choose the aerial service and choose the county. All pilots matching the criteria will be shown.
Register and directory downsides
Operator hire sites, registers and directories all ask drone pilots to pay a subscription. This translates into only a limited number of suppliers being listed and in some cases pilots located the other side of the country. We believe letting all businesses list their business for free gives our users the widest choice.
We check each pilots CAA authorisations before linking to their website. It gives our users an further assurance to the pilot’s professionalism and ability to deliver the best possible services.
