Yes. AeroFrame carries public liability insurance of £10 million through CoverDrone, covering every flight we operate. Certificates of insurance are available on request, and we're happy to provide one ahead of any job for site access or client compliance purposes.
-
Yes. AeroFrame pilots hold:
A CAA Operator ID and Flyer ID, as required for every drone flight in the UK
A RPC-L1 Part A (new GVC), the CAA-recognised qualification for commercial operations beyond the basic "open category" limits, including flying closer to people and property than hobbyist rules allow.
A2CofC.
We are currently applying for a CAA Operational Authorisation, which sets out exactly what we're permitted to do and where. This will allow us to undertake more complex operations.
-
Every job starts with a site-specific risk assessment covering airspace restrictions, weather, people, property, and emergency procedures. We check NOTAMs and local airspace restrictions before every flight, keep drones within visual line of sight, and carry out pre-flight equipment checks as standard. If conditions aren't safe due to high winds, poor visibility, restricted airspace, we reschedule rather than fly.
-
We're based in Brighton and typically work across the South-East. Jobs further afield are usually possible. Get in touch and we'll confirm feasibility and any travel costs.

Pricing depends on the type of job, location, and turnaround time. Get in touch with some details about your project and we'll send a tailored quote.
-
Drones can't safely fly in strong wind, heavy rain, or fog. If conditions on the day aren't safe, we'll reschedule once at no extra cost. We keep an eye on the forecast in the days before a shoot and will flag early if a reschedule looks likely.
