Working With Drones In Preston
Based out of Preston, a lot of our work finds itself in our hometown, allowing us to give back to this great city.
A number of airspace restrictions in Preston can add further due diligence when gaining permission to carry out a drone flight in the area.
Our qualified pilots are frequently in touch with HMP Preston, Lancashire Police, and other local authorities to gain the permissions to carry out our drone services, alongisde our CAA approval for commercial flight ops.
From progress update drone photography and videography to high-resolution drone surveys and inspections, we have something to complement your project.
Preston
Preston is a large city in Lancashire, nestled along the banks of the River Ribble. Situated just off of the M6 motorway, it is approximately 20 miles south of Lancaster, and around 30 miles north of Liverpool and Manchester.
Preston presents some challenges to drone operations due to various local airspace restrictions. Throughout the area, there are a number of Flight Restriction Zones (FRZ). Namely those over HMP Preston in the city centre, Warton Aerodrome to the west Preston's city centre, and Westinghouse Springfields Nuclear Production Facility in Salwick.
​
Looking slightly farther afield, there are also key FRZs over HMP Garth/Wymott in Moss Side, and Blackpool Airport to the west. Another consideration would be the microlight activity from Higher Barn Farm in Houghton to the south.
​
Despite these challenges, we pride ourselves in our ability and competency to navigate such challenges to drone operations in Preston. Our team leaves no rock unturned when it comes to securing necessary permissions and ensuring fully compliant and safe drone flights across Preston.
