Drone Questions

Common questions about commercial drone operations in Bath and what's included in the day rate.

Can you fly drones over the Bath World Heritage Site?

The World Heritage designation does not itself restrict drone flights. Standard CAA rules apply. The city centre is congested airspace, so the sub-250g system is the primary option there. For specific heritage buildings, I coordinate with the relevant bodies as part of the booking.

Can you film the Royal Crescent from the air?

Yes. The Royal Crescent and surrounding parkland are viable drone locations. The sub-250g system works well in the immediate area, and the Mavic 4 Pro covers wider establishing shots from appropriate distances.

Is Bath city centre congested airspace?

Yes. Central Bath is classified as congested for drone operations. The sub-250g drone operates with fewer restrictions in these zones, and I can apply for additional permissions for heavier systems where the brief requires it.

Do you cover the countryside around Bath?

Yes. The surrounding countryside, the Mendips, and North Somerset are open airspace with few restrictions. All four drone systems are available for rural and estate work outside the city.
