Flying over Leicestershire has its quirks. We make it easy.

From Leicester city to market towns, three recurring blockers.

East Midlands CTR

North-west Leicestershire sits inside the EMA Control Zone. Our drone pilots coordinate with tower as required.

Victorian Factories

Leicester's legacy hosiery factories and Loughborough's university blocks are surveyed without scaffolding.

Heritage Sites

Bosworth battlefield and Belvoir Castle need respectful heritage flying. Our drone pilots coordinate with site managers.

Strict Vetting Process

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

An uninsured hobbyist crashing into the Clock Tower or a market-town 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.
