FAQ
Common questions about commercial drone operations in Cheltenham and what's included in the day rate.
Yes. The racecourse sits outside controlled airspace when events are not running. During race meetings there are temporary restrictions, but for standard commercial shoots at the racecourse or nearby, I handle the permissions and risk assessments as part of the booking.
The town centre is congested airspace, which limits heavier drones. The sub-250g system operates with fewer restrictions in these areas, giving us viable aerial options for High Street, Promenade, and Montpellier shoots.
Yes. Most of the Cotswolds is open airspace with no restrictions beyond standard CAA rules. The Mavic 4 Pro and FPV systems work well for countryside estate, tourism, and property briefs.
Email or call with the brief, location, and preferred dates. I will confirm availability, send a quote, and handle the flight planning and risk assessment. Standard lead time is 48 hours for straightforward locations.
