Fequently asked questions
What areas do you serve?
Based in Richmond, Virginia. I cover all of Virginia, plus Maryland and North Carolina. Travel outside the local area is quoted up front, before the job is booked.
Are you certified and insured?
Yes. FAA Part 107 certified Remote Pilot, OSHA 30-Hour trained, and fully insured. A certificate of insurance is available on request, and additional insured is available.
What thermal capability do you have?
Radiometric thermal imaging on the DJI Matrice 4T, flown in-house. Radiometric means every pixel carries a temperature value, not just a heat picture. Typical work: roofs and building envelopes, solar arrays, electrical and mechanical equipment, and game or livestock recovery.
Is your RTK mapping a legal survey?
No. RTK on the DJI Matrice 4T delivers centimeter-level, survey-grade accuracy for mapping, orthomosaics, and site documentation. For anything that must be legally recorded, such as a boundary survey, I team with a licensed Virginia surveyor.
Do you handle airspace authorizations?
Yes. FAA airspace authorizations, including LAANC near airports, are handled during mission planning before the flight. If a site needs special approval, I tell you up front and build the lead time into the schedule.
What do I receive and how fast?
Deliverables and turnaround are spelled out in the quote before the flight: edited photos, edited video, thermal findings, or map products, depending on the job. Rush delivery and raw footage are available as add-ons.
