Permissions.
Any unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV or UAS) used for the purpose of obtaining images may require flight permissions from land owners and local authorities. When needed this is generally granted within a couple of days, though it may take up to several weeks in some cases. The CAA may require up to 28 days written notice of intention to fly for certain areas. All work is subject to obtaining permitted and legal access from which to safely operate UAV/UAS equipment.
Confidentiality.
All enquiries are strictly confidential between client and JTS.
Safety.
Obtaining the necessary training and qualifications for competent and safe commercial flying involves substantial and continual investment. To obtain our permission from the CAA, JTS successfully underwent a programme of intense training at ground school before completing a flight assessment. Safety is an important aspect of all our operations and one that is taken very seriously by JTS crew. Every operation is assessed and evaluated with great detail. If our crew do not feel that the operation is safe, we maintain the right to postpone the service until a later date or until the issues are rectified.
