Drone Questions

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

Can you fly drones in the Cotswolds AONB?

Yes. The Cotswolds AONB has no specific drone restrictions beyond standard CAA rules. It is open airspace for most locations. I handle the flight planning and any landowner permissions as part of the booking.

Do you cover the Forest of Dean?

I live in the Forest of Dean. No travel charge, no mileage. I know the forestry locations, the Forestry England permit process, and the practical realities of filming in woodland and open forest.

What about Cheltenham and Gloucester city airspace?

Both are congested areas for heavier drones. The sub-250g system operates with fewer restrictions in urban zones, and I can secure additional permissions where needed for specific shoots.

Can you film in rural locations without road access?

Yes. All four drone systems are portable. The Mavic 4 Pro and sub-250g fit in a backpack. For remote agricultural or estate locations, I can walk in with full kit.
