Flight Safety

At Hampshire Aerial Photos the safety of our customers, staff and aircraft is our primary concern.

Prior to each flight we conduct a thorough risk assessment for the operation. Approximately 1-2 hours preparation work goes into every flight so we can be sure that the flight is a safe and successful one.

We follow a strict operations manual for which our CAA Permission for Aerial Work is granted on, this ensures all national and local laws are adhered to. All of our pilots are fully qualified and hold relevant NQE/RAE qualifications. Our pilots and aircraft are registered with the CAA and undergo daily and yearly checks to ensure that appropriate levels of competence and safety are maintained.

We also offer peace of mind in the event of any unexpected incidents with our £1 million public liability insurance cover for each and every flight. Our insurance is provided by specialists in UAV and Drone insurance.
