Compliance & Safety
Professional aerial filming requires more than technical skill. It demands careful planning, regulatory awareness, and a disciplined approach to safety, particularly when operating near people, buildings, and live environments.
At airPixels, compliance and safety are built into every stage of our work. All operations are planned, documented, and delivered in line with UK aviation regulations and recognised best practice for commercial UAV operations.
Regulatory Compliance
airPixels operates in accordance with UK Civil Aviation Authority requirements for commercial drone operations. This includes:
- Holding appropriate certification for professional UAV operations
- Operating under a structured operations framework
- Adhering to airspace restrictions, operational limitations and safety requirements
Where permissions, notifications, or additional planning are required, these are identified and managed as part of the project workflow.
Documentation & Assurance
For projects that require it, airPixels can supply supporting documentation including:
- Risk Assessments and Method Statements (RAMS)
- Evidence of certifications and insurance
- Operational summaries for site managers or stakeholders
Documentation is clear, proportionate, and aligned to the needs of the environment, whether that’s a construction site, educational setting, or corporate location.
Planning & Risk Management
Every aerial operation is planned in advance and assessed against the specific environment in which it will take place.
- Site assessment and operational planning
- Identification of hazards and mitigation measures
- Defined operating areas and emergency procedures
- Consideration of people, structures, access, and live activities
This ensures flights are conducted safely, predictably, and with minimal disruption to surrounding operations.

Operating in Live Environments
We regularly work in environments where activity is ongoing and safety is critical.
- Construction and development sites
- Occupied or partially occupied buildings
- Educational and public-sector environments
Operations are coordinated with site managers and relevant stakeholders to ensure everyone understands the plan, the controls in place, and the scope of the activity.
Insurance
airPixels holds appropriate insurance cover for commercial aerial operations, providing reassurance to clients, site owners, and stakeholders.
Insurance details can be supplied on request as part of the planning process.
If your project requires a compliant, risk-managed approach to aerial or FPV filming, we’re happy to discuss your requirements and outline how operations would be planned.
