How it works
From application to your first job
Apply
Tell us who you are, what you fly and how far you will travel. It takes about five minutes.
Confirm
Click the link we email you. A person on our team then reads your application.
Paperwork
Sign the agreements and send your Part 107, insurance certificate and W-9 through your own pilot login.
Fly
We offer you sites near your base. You fly the plan and upload, and we process and deliver.
What we look for
The basics, and what sets a pilot apart
Part 107
A current FAA remote pilot certificate with recurrent training up to date, and aircraft that are registered and Remote ID compliant.
Insurance
Drone liability coverage. We ask about your limit and whether you can name a client as additional insured.
Capable kit
A mapping-capable aircraft. RTK, thermal, LiDAR, zoom and interior scanning open up more of our work.
Care on site
Fly the plan, capture everything the job asks for, and upload complete data.
Training and quality
Trained for the work, checked on every flight
Our clients trust us on towers, rooftops, active job sites and critical facilities. Every pilot who flies for us meets the same standard, and the bar rises with the work.
Vetted before the first job
We verify every pilot's FAA certification and insurance ourselves, and pilots sign our contractor and confidentiality agreements before any work is offered.
Specialized training where the work demands it
Telecom and other specialized work requires additional training and certifications. Our training team delivers coursework and in-field instruction with experienced instructors before a pilot takes on that work.
A quality program on every flight
Every capture is reviewed by our quality team before processing. Imagery is checked for sharpness and coverage, and work that falls short goes back to the pilot to correct.
Credentials kept current
We track certification, recurrent training and insurance dates for every pilot, so nothing lapses unnoticed.
The work
What our pilots fly
Telecom towers and rooftop sites, construction progress, mapping and surveying, roof and building inspections, insurance claims, solar and thermal, utilities and infrastructure, and interior capture. Some jobs are a single visit; others repeat on a schedule.
Pilots work with us as independent contractors, and the type of work a pilot is offered follows the training and certifications they hold.
