Hampshire has busy, mixed airspace. We make flights easy.

From Portsmouth dockyards to Winchester, three recurring blockers.

Southampton CTR & Solent

Southampton's CTR covers a wide area and the Solent hosts busy IoW ferry + heli routes. Portsmouth naval traffic adds complexity. Our drone pilots coordinate with the right controlling authority each flight.

Naval Dockyards & MoD Sites

Portsmouth and HMNB Portsmouth have tight MoD restrictions. Our industrial-site drone pilots have the right RA templates.

Historic Cathedrals

Winchester Cathedral Close and Portsmouth Old Town have listed buildings surveyed without scaffolding.

Strict Vetting Process

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

An uninsured hobbyist crashing near HMS Victory or onto Southampton 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.
