Are you a drone pilot? Join the network.

Dundee flights need the right authorisations. We make it easy.

From the waterfront to Forfar and Arbroath, Tayside property projects hit three recurring blockers.

Dundee Airport ATZ

The city centre and waterfront sit inside Dundee Airport's ATZ with RAF Leuchars just across the Tay. Our drone pilots coordinate with the tower before every commercial flight.

Waterfront & Jute-Mill Sites

Old jute mills, the V&A surrounds and harbour frontages are hard to scaffold. A drone captures the full facade in a single 25-minute flight, no MEWP required.

Angus Glens & Wind

Rural Angus properties sit in open farmland with strong North Sea gusts. Our drone pilots fly weather-rated airframes and plan around the narrow operational windows.

Strict Vetting Process

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

An uninsured hobbyist crashing over the V&A or into a Broughty Ferry property leaves you—the client—exposed to the liability claim.

My name is Peter Leslie, founder of HireDronePilot. We built this platform to protect Scottish property managers from cowboy drone operators.

Before any drone pilot sees your brief, we manually verify their Commercial Public Liability Insurance (£1M minimum, usually £5M+) and their CAA qualifications.

Every Dundee Drone pilot is Vetted

The smartest way to survey a Tayside property.

Why property managers across Dundee City, Angus and Perth & Kinross have switched to drone data.

Eliminate Access Costs

A typical drone roof survey in Dundee costs £220 - £500. A cherry picker with road occupation permits from Dundee City Council can push past £1,800. Get the data for a fraction of the price.

Zero WAH Risk

Working At Height is a major HSE concern on coastal Angus roofs with North Sea exposure. Drone surveys keep your team firmly on the ground.

No Council Wait Times

Skip the multi-week wait for Dundee or Angus Council road permits. Drone pilots are often on-site within 48 hours and deliver 4K data the same day.

How Tayside businesses are using the network.

"We needed shoreline roof photos of a Broughty Ferry property. The drone pilot arrived within 48 hours, briefed Dundee Airport ATC, and we had the 4K images delivered by Monday."

Letting Agent, DD5

"Our West End office needed a thermal survey before winter. Three quotes came back the same day. Best value, on site within the week."

Facilities Manager, DD2

"Needed progress video of an Arbroath industrial estate build. Drone pilot flew monthly for six months, delivered cut footage each time. First-class service."

Dundee Drone Operations FAQ

Commercial drone flying across Dundee and Angus.

Can you fly a drone over central Dundee?

Yes. Much of the city sits within Dundee Airport's ATZ and the southern edge of RAF Leuchars' historical operating area. Commercial drone pilots with PDRA01 can fly in congested areas around the waterfront once Dundee Airport tower has approved the NOTAM.

How much does a drone survey cost in Dundee?

A residential visual roof inspection in the DD postcodes typically runs £200 - £280. Thermal surveys, waterfront commercial jobs or flights requiring airport coordination run £300 - £600.

Do I need Angus or Dundee City Council permission?

Not for flights over your own property. If the drone pilot needs to take off or land on Council-owned land, coastal paths or a public park, local authority permission may be required. Your drone pilot will usually take off from private property.

Can you fly near Dundee Airport or RAF Leuchars?

Yes, with the correct permissions. Our drone pilots routinely submit flight requests to Dundee Airport and coordinate with Leuchars (now an Army base) where required. Expect 2-5 days of lead time for ATC sign-off.

Whatever your drone challenge in Dundee, we have the drone pilot to solve it.
