Who flies the missions?
C-DRONE does not fly itself: each job goes to a local UAS operator, registered with the DGAC on AlphaTango and insured for aerial third-party liability, who contracts directly with the client.
Can a professional drone fly freely in a city?
Not freely: every flight is prepared under EU rules (open and specific categories) and the restrictions of the official Géoportail drone map. Our pilots file the required declarations; in controlled airspace or built-up areas, allow 5–10 working days of prior formalities, built into the mission schedule.
How quickly can you fly?
Quote within one working day. Outside zones requiring authorisation, the flight is usually scheduled within a week; in controlled airspace or built-up areas, allow 5–10 working days for prior formalities.
