How it all started

Our fascination with drones was sparked within the realm of the film industry. These ingenious devices allowed us to capture stunning aerial footage, all without the hefty costs associated with hiring helicopters. As time progressed, we came to a profound realisation – the expansive potential within the drone industry remained largely untapped.

Navigating the drone regulations of South Africa has been an intricate journey, as they are amongst the most stringent globally. Our unwavering dedication, coupled with substantial investments of time and resources, has resulted in us achieving full accreditation. Today, we proudly conduct drone operations in strict compliance with the law, backed by comprehensive insurance coverage.

SACAA Rules and Regulations

The South African Civil Aviation Authority (SACAA) views any drone flying in the sky as an aircraft that must abide by the same law as manned aircraft. This means a commercial drone pilot must go through a number of certification processes, from getting a Remote Pilot’s License (RPL) to an RPAS Operator Certificate (ROC).

Not abiding by these laws can have serious implications for not only the pilot but also the company that hired the pilot. Using media collected by an unlicensed drone operating company is illegal. If any damage or injury is caused by the illegal operating of a drone, the pilot and the company contracting the pilot, will be held liable. Illegal drone companies also don’t have liability insurance.
