    UK Have you gone self employed and make a full time income?

    Also worth pointing out the optimism of Peter Jones on dragons den about the drone industry as a whole. It's still very early on and is only going to get bigger which is going to increase the amount of work for us all. There are lots of PfCO holders that just haven't got a clue about getting...

    UK Have you gone self employed and make a full time income?

    I have had my drone business for nearly 2 years now and I'm seriously thinking of selling my current business to pursue it full time. However, i don't really see it as a "drone business" anymore as my recent work as just been videography with added drone stuff and i haven't done any pure drone...

    UK PfCO Renewal, anything changed?

    I'm just sitting down to renew my PfCO, it's the first time i have had to renew since acquiring it in April 17 and I'm wondering if anything has changed that i need to add to my Ops Manual since April 17 or anything in general that i need to change other than the obvious dates etc? Thanks

    UK Moving to full time & Lead Generation

    I get discount with DSR through my insurance so may as well give it a go and see what happens, i'm going in with low expectations so anything that comes from it is a bonus.

    UK Moving to full time & Lead Generation

    Thanks for the info. All of my work last year came from networking so not too surprising. How do you all cope in the winter months? I have found that inquiries have really dropped off from September?

    UK Moving to full time & Lead Generation

    I have now been trading for 12 months and as a part time business, it has been fantastic! Most of the work has been doing promotional work for events and estate agent property portfolios. For 2018 i would love to be able to do this full time and i have been looking at the websites that list...

    Bark.com

    Evening all, I have been bombarded with leads from bark.com over the last couple of months, today i caved in and contacted them to find out the legitimacy and it "seems" that they are legit leads varying from a simple photograph for Dave down the road to getting footage for a feature. I don't...

    UK Hanging items off of a drone

    Thanks for the reply. It seems my memory serves me wrong! Getting close to the window should be fine as we spoke today about actually staging that part of the advert anyway.

    UK Hanging items off of a drone

    A client has asked for the use of a drone & operator for a film shoot in which they want me to deliver something to a window. I'm pretty sure that there is a rule against attaching items to a drone? What could be a work around if any? Thanks!

    UK Relaxed rules

    Ah, I think you made have misunderstood my comment. I was thinking more along the lines of the standoffs are a little too harsh for more than 1000 people and not that I actually want to fly over those people. Let's say that the PfCO holders were allowed 30/50 at open air assembly's, I see that...

    UK Relaxed rules

    Ok, We have been trading now for nearly 2 months now and have seen a huge interest in our services with 5 jobs already in the books. We have, however, had to turn down a couple of jobs that were the dreaded "open air assembly of more than 1000 people" in the last week alone and I'm sure it's a...
