Derbyshire sits half in the Peaks. We make flights easy.

From Derby city to the Dark Peak, three recurring blockers.

EMA CTR Edge

South Derbyshire sits under the EMA Control Zone. Our drone pilots coordinate with EMA tower for flights in the zone.

Peak District Rules

PDNPA guidance covers wildlife and visitor considerations. Our drone pilots plan around breeding seasons and popular paths.

Stone Cottages & Mills

Bakewell and Matlock's gritstone cottages and mills are surveyed without scaffolding listed frontages.

Strict Vetting Process

You can't hire just anyone to fly over Derbyshire.

An uninsured hobbyist crashing onto Kinder Scout or a Derby high street leaves you—the client—exposed.

My name is Peter Leslie, founder of HireDronePilot. We vet every drone pilot before they touch your brief.

Commercial Public Liability Insurance (£1M min, £5M+ typical) and CAA authorisations are manually verified.
