About us

Our Pilots and Visual Observers

Our Pilots and Visual Observers

Our Pilots and Visual Observers

  • Pilots at Strudwick Commercial Drone Operations operate by the book, we observe all the sUAS regulations set forth by the FAA. Our pilots are FAA licensed Part 91 and Part 107 Commercial  pilots. We insist on a high degree of skill, safety and professionalism.  Our Pilots are required to be insured and current in all phases of our flight training, they must also possess a thorough knowledge of FAA Part 107 Airspace, Weather and Operating regulations.   
  • We practice adequate pre-flight preparation, established flight standards and safe operating procedures. Our pilots are skilled and experienced in the areas of Aeronautical decision making which includes Hazard identification,  Risk  Assessment  and mitigation. They are also experts in Weather trend spotting and recognition of the lateral boundary and vertical limits of Controlled Airspace. We  adhere  to established fight standards on all our missions. These are the  requirements that we insist on maintaining.    Our Visual Observers (VO) are trained in VO responsibilities, Airspace Scanning and VO/RPIC communications. They preview the area of operations to identify airspace and the possibility of (air/surface) intrusive traffic. When operating in close proximity to airports, we fly with an ATC radio active. 

Why Choose Strudwick?

Our Pilots and Visual Observers

Our Pilots and Visual Observers

  • We observe and adhere to the FAA's sUAS Regulations, Flight Standards, Operating Procedures and Maintenance  requirement, with an emphasis on Safety. The Prevention of Accidents and  maintaining a safe operating environment is one of our highest priority. We identify Environmental Risk and Hazards then implement the necessary mitigation and prevention factors prior to each mission. We monitor weather trends  and anticipate the possibility of significant weather activity that can adversely affect our flight environment.
  • We offer same day turnaround (uploading from the worksite), creative post production skills in video & photo editing  creating various mapping models and volumetric measurements plus inspection post production services.
  • Our licensed manned airplane pilots possess skill, knowledge and experience that provides an edge when performing our missions. Our emphasis is on providing the client with the services required to their satisfaction and work with them to ensure their requirements are met. All our aircrafts are registered, insured and maintained based on manufacturer's standard.

Introduction

  1. We are a Drone Services  company developed by an experienced FAA licensed Part 91 and Part 107 Commercial Pilot. We serve the North East Florida (Orlando to Jacksonville), East and South East Georgia also Atlanta regions. At Strudwick Commercial Drone Operations we provide professional Drone services which includes but not limited to; Aerial Videography and Imagery, Real Estate Videography and Photography, Mapping for the creation of Orthomosaics, DEM and 3D Models, Property Management, Construction Site Planning, Progress Tracking and Inspection services, as well as full post production services. We also currently offer Licensed Professional Drone Pilot, Video Editing and Trained Visual Observer (VO) Services. Our chief pilot is a FAA licensed Private Pilot with 200 hours of manned aircraft flight experience, 235 hours (documented) unmanned with the Phantom 4, the Inspire and the Mavic also 200 hours simulated unmanned. The majority of his UAS experience is in controlled class Echo and Charlie airspace utilizing  Low Altitude Authorization and Notification Capability and Geo Zone unlocking. Numerous hours of experience conducting Commercial Operations in close proximity to class Charlie high traffic airport. Experienced in high wind, high humidity and high temperature (high density altitude) environment, resolving loss of signal, disconnect, (zero telemetry) and gimbal malfunction issues.  Every commercial UAS pilot is required to resolve these issues from time to time, even with the most reliable equipment. One of our mandatory pilot requirement is a manual fly home (while the aircraft is barely visible) with zero telemetry in Atti mode. While carefully observing part 107 rules and the operating limitations of our aircrafts, we do more than just pilot our UAVs in a calm desirable environment and shoot straight line videos, we get the job done and meet the deadline in challenging meteorological conditions. More than just a guy with a drone, we have several.


  • We seek to provide clients in our areas of operation with high quality services. These services are currently being offered primarily by corporations who are often located in other states. When hiring a commercial remote pilot, always be careful about the individuals you hire. A hobbyist with a Part 107 certificate, little or no formal aviation training or background and no established/documented Flight Standards or Operating Procedures, can quickly become a liability. We are local, qualified, posses formal aviation training and can provide a more exclusive personal service. We are looking to coordinate with the following businesses ; Construction, Property Management, Inspection  (Roof, Home and Structure), Real Estate and Photography in order to provide drone services relevant to their particular areas of operation. They are encouraged to utilize our services on an "as-needed" basis to augment, enhance or provide a measure of safety to their business or services. We are also open to other businesses that can incorporate drones in their operations.  For more information, please contact us using the form at the bottom of this page. 


  • We have completed our system whereby our aerial activity can be monitored on your PC from anywhere, you see what the camera sees. While at a worksite you can direct us from the office, capture photos and videos emphasizing any area of interest. Same day turnaround, we can also instantly upload photos and short videos from the worksite.

Types of Flight Environment

Flight Conditions, Aircraft and Accessories

Types of Flight Environment

  

Commercial UAV (Drone) operations take place within the NAS (National Airspace System) in two types of flight environment, within Controlled Airspace, this is generally within a 5 nautical mile radius of towered airports. The second type of environment is Uncontrolled Airspace (Class G) everywhere else excluding special use airspace.. When operating within controlled airspace we need adequate advance notice, operating within uncontrolled airspace is less complicated and can be done with a relatively shorter  notice.

Note: Generally, the controlled airspace surrounding rural towered airports become uncontrolled airspace (below 700’) if the control tower is not in operation. There are exceptions where the surrounding environment might remain (Class E) controlled airspace even with a non-operational tower. (We can make that determination)

Flight Conditions, Aircraft and Accessories

Flight Conditions, Aircraft and Accessories

Flight Conditions, Aircraft and Accessories

  

A minimum of 3 miles flight visibility and generally wind speeds of <= 19 knots (higher with the Inspire) is required for us to fly. We will not operate in weather conditions that might adversely affect our flight environment or significantly restrict the aircraft's ability to maneuver safely, operating wind speed might be decreased based on the mission, for example during real estate videography, the tolerable wind speed for acceptable footage might be  less than 10 knots. Area of operations also dictate maximum operable wind speed, in a wide unobstructed area higher wind speeds can be tolerated. We currently fly the DJI Phantom 4, Inspire, Mavic and the Yuneec H  . We use DJI brand intelligent flight batteries for missions, with DJI aircrafts. These and other risk mitigation factors and flight rules are outlined in our established operating procedures and flight standards manual.

The aerial HD pics and the video of the backend of my property were outstanding. I could not be happier or more impressed with your professionalism. Watching you with your drone was so cool. I actually took a video of you  taking the videos and photos. Thanks again for your help. I'd recommend you to anyone.

Great visual observer, his private pilot airspace knowledge came in handy. We felt safe with him on our team. He monitored traffic in the vicinity, helped us  identify the  limits and remain out of adjacent controlled  airspace".

AERIAL DOCUMENTATION OF CONSTRUCTION STAGES

Worksite Aerial Survey Flight (remote monitoring for visual inspection and progression)

This is an overview flight pattern we developed for aerial inspection of construction earthwork. An aerial survey allows you to see the worksite in it's entirety, you can often observe features or spot anomalies that might not be noticeable at ground level by someone on foot. This can be done for various construction applications in order to effectively inspect workmanship and track work progression . Connect with us so we can develop your unique flight path for aerial surveying. We can have this type footage along with photos, edited and uploaded remotely from the worksite to your office on the same day.

Real Estate Construction Stages

Aerial video documentation is one of the most effective method to keep an eye on the various aspects of construction while in the vertical stages of building. Contact us to begin documentation of the pre-construction and construction  stages of your project. 

Tree Removal Progression - An Aerial Perspective

This is part of a free flight we made while documenting tree removal progression.  These types of flights are being increasingly used by construction managers to get a detailed aerial view of tree removal progression on pre-construction worksites. When there are several active worksites, save time by using a drone services company. Survey pre-construction activity from your desktop or laptop computer.

REAL ESTATE

Showcasing the Property

When showcasing Commercial Real Estate, sometimes a static photo or photos just wont do.   Effectively show the property in its entirety with a video.  Connect with us to show off your commercial property. A video is worth a thousand photos. (Please select 1080p video setting )

Real Estate - Residential

 Showcase your property's best feature with an aerial video package. Drones can significantly reduced the cost of aerial photography and has made beautiful aerial imagery affordable to all. We can create a video similar to this (or longer) for your Real Estate listing. Get this music from Amazon, called Never Far Away (feat. Marion Meadows) Roberto Vazquez (we did). Select 720p or 1080p and above setting for large screen. Don't miss the rainbow on the waterfalls.
 

Residential Real Estate for Sale

 When your property's best feature is a lake or any water body close by, it is imperative that this feature is showcased to the max. An aerial video is pretty much the only way to simultaneously show the property and any waterbody close by. This is an example of the type of aerial perspective that is necessary for your Real Estate listing.  

Get this music from Amazon, it's called Keep Pushin - feat. Les Sabler. 

AERIAL DOCUMENTATION OF CONSTRUCTION STAGES

A Tree Cutting Progression Video done on a Pre-Construction worksite

The progression of tree cutting on a pre-construction worksite. Some footage was done in windy conditions, we get the job done when we are called upon. This is an example of an aerial video clip we created. This footage was shot from an altitude of 100 feet. If you need a similar video  done, be sure to connect with us for information on how to get your aerial video shot and edited. For optimal viewing, change default video setting to 1080p (or above) for all videos on this page. Videos might appear blurred at first but will clear up.  

A Rectangular Pattern for Site Documentation of initial phase

This is a flight pattern we do regularly to document and track progression. Whether your worksite is rectangular, circular or odd shaped. We can develop a flight pattern to track and document your site progression. A concise flight pattern during the initial phases of construction is an effective method of gaining an comprehensive look of the entire worksite. This type of information can be utilized consistently when updating investors, banks and other interested parties. It can also be used as a marketing tool for your company. Aerial videos are the most effective marketing tool for construction enterprises.

Navigating a 360° Panoramic Image

A 360-degree panoramic photograph is an immersive image that puts the viewer in control of what they want to see within an image. Using your mouse button and roller you can look up, down, left, right and zoom in and out. It is like being in the moment that the photograph was captured at the exact location. A 360° panoramic photo shows everything on and around your worksite, all assets, personnel and work progress. These photographs can also be embedded in your business website, this gives a clear advantage over other competitors. Contact us to create a beautiful 360° panoramic image of your worksite, business, farm, real estate, property, structure or any location that you would like to capture. Can also be an efficient way of  tracking tree removal during pre-construction stages. (Favorable environmental condition is required)

Inspection and 3D Modeling Videos

Roof Inspection clip

  • Drone inspections are being performed in almost every industry that requires visual inspections as part of its maintenance procedures, by using a drone to collect visual data on the condition of an asset. Drone inspections help roof inspectors avoid having to place themselves in dangerous situations. Drone pilots primarily use cameras to perform visual inspection. Do not expose yourself to physical danger, connect with us to help you with your inspection projects.

Construction Worksite 3D Model

  • The construction stages of a worksite requires regular monitoring.  The advantages of 3D modeling for designers is not limited to productivity and coordination, it is an excellent communication tool for the designer. 3D models can help spark important conversations during the design phase and potentially avoid costly construction mishaps. This is a draft only, not the final model.  (Model may appear blurry at first but will clear up)
