We are a small, friendly and enthusiastic team, with each of us a specialist in our own field. So whether you need a cinematographer for a TV production or a pilot to undertake a topographical survey, we always ensure the right operator is partnered to the right job.
Vistaworx carries £5,000,000 public liability insurance and has full RPQ-s certification and CAA PfCO (Permissions for Commercial Operation) We also carry full night time permissions with CAA approval, allowing us to fly at any time throughout a 24 hour period.
Note: Employing a non approved, unlicensed drone operator without insurance is not only dangerous, but also against the law. All UK pilots must have the relevent training certification, CAA permissions and public liability insurance. If you are in any doubt whatsoever, ask the operator, as any approved operator should be happy to show you their relevant certification and approvals.
Hiring a non approved drone operator can be foolhardy. If they are not CAA approved, then they will not have the relevent public liability insurance. In case of a claim, the procuring party could be held liable.
