Are there any legal restrictions on drone operations?
Yes, all drone pilots require CASA approval to fly above 120 metres (400ft) and within 5.5km/3NM of controlled airports/airspace (e.g. Adelaide, Parafield and other large airports around Australia). As a quick guide, please see the map of controlled airspace in Adelaide, where we require authorisation prior to flight.
Australian aviation regulations also require drone operators to keep a minimum of 30 meters away from people and property not involved in the drone operation. The team at SA-UAVs are highly proficient in flying in busy, populated areas whilst ensuring safety and compliance.
Can your drones operate in restricted airspace?
Drone operations in restricted airspace, such as near airports, military installations, or flying above 122m (400 ft), require CASA or RAAF clearance. SA-UAVs are experienced in obtaining the necessary authorisations and can navigate restricted airspace when needed for authorised projects. Please note that approval may not be instant, so allow up to 5 weeks for CASA approvals and 48 hours for military-controlled airspace.
Can drones be flown in any weather conditions?
Our drone pilots closely monitor weather conditions in the lead-up to a job to ensure operational safety and quality results. Drone flights are subject to weather conditions, as rain, high winds, and low visibility can affect the ability to operate drones safely. Our drones are rated to fly in winds up to 36km/h, 10m/s, 19kts and can cope with moderate to fresh winds. We will inform you prior to your project start date if the weather becomes unsuitable for flying and offer an alternative date and time at no extra cost.
Can I request specific deliverables or formats for the captured data?
Yes, we can record images/footage in various formats, including JPEG and DNG RAW Images, MOV, MP4 and ProRes Video Files and we will work closely with you to ensure we meet your requirements.
