Legislation
We do it only legally
As one of the few companies in Slovakia we perform drone flying LEGALLY and we have all the permits to operate UAS.
Register UAV
Our drones (UAS) from the renowned brand DJI, are officially approved by the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA). Every drone we use is registered in the aircraft register of the Slovak Republic Transport Authority and regularly undergoes our inspections and maintenance. In this way, we guarantee that every flight complies with the latest legislative standards and aviation regulations.
Pilot License
We successfully passed the theoretical and practical examinations for categories A1/A3, A2 and STS at the Transport Authority of the Slovak Republic in the Civil Aviation Division. We hold an operating permit in the special category 'SPECIFIC' to fly drones capable of being flown without a pilot, in accordance with Regulation (EU) 2019/947.
When flying, we do not endanger the safety of other aircraft, persons or property on the ground.
During each flight, we maintain visual contact with the drone at all times, based on current legislation.
For flying in the CTR zone we require permission from the airport tower.
We can provide special permission for take-off in close proximity to airports and military areas.
Permissions
The "special" category operating permit, issued and approved by the Transport Authority based on a rigorous SORA risk analysis assessment, authorizes us to legally conduct drone flights under specific conditions.
Insurance
Each of our drones is duly insured against liability for damage caused by a crash, through the concluded insurance PZP (liability insurance). The sum insured is set at up to EUR 1 300 000which covers potential risks and provides financial protection in the event of unforeseen events during operation.
Report permission
Our drone permits and operational documentation are taken care of by a proven and experienced company that we work closely with. This company provides comprehensive management of our permits in the category of SPECIFICincluding regularly updating them and monitoring current regulations to ensure the highest level of safety during our flights. With their help, we continuously adapt our operational documentation to ensure compliance with current aviation standards and regulations.
