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

From West Bridgford to Worksop, three recurring blockers on Nottinghamshire projects.

East Midlands CTR Edge

South-west Notts sits close to the East Midlands Airport CTR. Our drone pilots coordinate with EMA tower when flights cross the boundary.

City Centre & University Campuses

Market Square and the universities' halls-of-residence blocks are surveyed without scaffolding the whole building.

Sherwood Forest Protections

Ancient-woodland flights need care. Our drone pilots respect Schedule 1 species and the Major Oak zone.

Strict Vetting Process

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

An uninsured hobbyist crashing into the Lace Market or a Mansfield 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.
