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 creative post production skills in video/photo editing (4K/HDR), creating various mapping models and volumetric measurements plus inspection post production services.
  • We don't require exorbitant upfront payments, this can be arranged. 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 in a FAA licensed Private Pilot with 200 hours of manned aircraft flight experience, 150 hours unmanned with the Phantom 4 and the Inspire 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. 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 (blank ipad) 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.


  • 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 around an expensive asset, 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. Our "sUAV (Drone) Flight Training" book will be published in the next 3-6 months.  Keep checking this website for updates.


  • We have completed our system whereby our Inspection, Monitoring or any aerial activity can be watched 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, this can also be done from our worksite monitors. You can also instantly email captured photos/short videos from the worksite. Many local companies could be in need of our services and might not know we exist. If you are just a curious visitor and have knowledge of companies that might need our services, please do not hesitate to contact us. We do pay a commission fee for referrals. The highest commissions are paid on initial projects. Real Estate Agents are encouraged to contact us regarding a discounted Real Estate video shoot. We shoot, edit and provide a finished product.

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

Areas Served

Flight Conditions, Aircraft and Accessories

Types of Flight Environment

  

We currently serve all the areas from Orlando traveling north to Jacksonville. We can also travel to South Georgia for projects. We have a Pilot/VO who travels to the Atlanta area once monthly. We normally require advance notice for missions in the Atlanta area, these mission should have a duration of more than 3 days, please contact us for shorter missions. Depending on the mission we will travel longer distances providing the mission has a long enough duration. Please contact us for more information regarding our criteria for long distance travel.

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 <= 18 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 17 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, Yuneec H and the Inspire. We use DJI brand intelligent flight batteries for missions, with DJI aircrafts, we do not use generic batteries. These and other risk mitigation factors and flight rules are outlined in our established operating procedures and flight standards manual.

Commercial 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)

A Tree Cutting Progression Video

This is an example of an aerial video clip we created, the progression of tree cutting on a pre-construction worksite modified (speeded up x3) therefore motion is exaggerated. We shoot in various environments conditions so some footage was done in windy conditions, we get the job done when we are called upon. If you need a similar video  done,  contact us.  Change default video setting to 1080p (or above) for all videos on this page. Videos might appear blurred at first but will clear up. 


AERIAL DOCUMENTATION OF 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. 

Cinematic Aerial Works

Cinematic view from 350 ft.

  • This footage was shot from an altitude of 350 feet, all moves done manually.  Aerial views from inland Daytona Beach with Beachside in the  background and DIS (Daytona International Speedway) visible mid-photo. If you need aerial  photography or a similar video  done, be sure to connect with us for information on how  to get your aerial photo/video shot and edited with music.

Mapping and 3D Modeling Videos

A 3D Model created from our Mapping Mission

  • This is an example of a 3D model, this model can be created for land and structures.  The orthophotos from our mapping mission can also create an Orthomosaic and Digital Elevation Models. We can model an entire roof and present it in a similar fashion for inspection on your computer screen. Homes, buildings, structures and other objects can also be modeled, many other businesses can use this type of application. Model will appear blurred at first but will clear up.
