Swansea sits on the Bristol Channel. We make flights easy.

From the marina to the Gower peninsula, three recurring blockers.

Swansea ATZ

Swansea Airport (Fairwood) operates an active ATZ. Our drone pilots coordinate with the tower before flights in the zone.

Gower AONB

The Gower was the UK's first AONB. Wildlife-disturbance rules and honey-pot beaches need careful planning.

Coastal Weather

Bristol Channel gusts and salt spray demand weather-rated kit. Our drone pilots plan around the met windows.

Strict Vetting Process

You can't hire just anyone to fly over Swansea Bay.

An uninsured hobbyist crashing into a Mumbles property or onto Three Cliffs Bay 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.
