Drone aerial thermal imaging in Perpignan
Gas-heated houses, 1970s schools, warehouses: the building stock of Perpignan offers textbook targets for aerial thermography. One pass over the district ranks heat losses and puts renovation priorities on solid ground. From Le Castillet to the outlying districts, our pilots know the terrain of Perpignan and prepare every flight on the local aeronautical chart.
Perpignan-Rivesaltes airport, north of the city, imposes its CTR over part of the conurbation and also hosts aeronautical testing and maintenance. The real local constraint is the weather: the tramontane frequently exceeds light-drone wind limits, so fallback windows must be planned. The dense old centre around the Castillet falls under the built-up-area scenario. The Roussillon market combines wine growing (Côtes du Roussillon, Rivesaltes muscat) hungry for plot imagery, fruit orchards on the plain, coastal real estate between Canet and Argelès minutes away, Catalan heritage — the Palace of the Kings of Majorca, the Castillet — and logistics at the Saint-Charles market, Europe's leading fruit-and-vegetable hub.

Local regulations: flying in Perpignan
Thermographic flights in Perpignan happen at low height over the building, compatible with the controlled airspace (CTR de Perpignan-Rivesaltes) after a protocol: the dawn slots needed for measurement are built into the coordination.
Drone thermography follows building-inspection rules — open category above the site, specific category in dense areas — plus the sensor's own constraint: flying at times of strong thermal contrast. Full regulations and rates: aerial thermal imaging across France →

Frequently asked questions
Aerial thermal imaging in Perpignan: what budget should you plan?
Allow €500–1,800 per job — the 2026 French market range, including regulatory preparation, flight and delivery. In Perpignan, coordination with the local airspace is included in the quote and arranged within a few days.
When is the best time for thermography in Perpignan?
Heating season, October to March: you need at least a 10 °C gap between inside and outside for meaningful readings. In Perpignan (Occitanie), winter dawn slots give the best contrast; for photovoltaics it is the opposite — full summer sun.
What time of year should building thermography be done?
From October to April, when the gap between the heated interior and the outside reaches at least 10°C. Flights take place early in the morning, before the sun warms the walls and skews the readings.
