Safety & Legal

Safety is paramount to AML Air. Work is risk assessed & planned in advance, with records maintained, where required, in line with CAA guidance. Continuous dynamic risk assessment is undertaken as we work. Safety staff and equipment, if required, will be provided. Our staff are equipped with correct and appropriate PPE for the work in hand, whilst our vehicles carry firefighting media and first aid equipment should it be required.

Unfortunately there are a lot of “pretenders”  in the RPAS world, some having glossy advertising but little experience and are taking fees from unsuspecting customers.

Anyone offering aerial services using  drones in the UK MUST be properly insurance to the minimum standard required by the CAA under EU Regulation EC785-2004 .

If you need a drone operator – ask for his or her insurance certificate and, for more complex work, a copy of their OA (Operational Authorisation) and A2 / GVC ID card. If in doubt, contact the CAA at uavenquiries@caa.co.uk

If you use an uninsured drone operator or one with incorrect qualifications and authorisations for the work in hand, you too are liable in the event there is an accident or other incident!

See the links on our Links Page to CAA Guidance for both the hobby and commercial users and you’ll see flying & taking photos near buildings, structures, roads, vehicles, property and people is greatly restricted. Recreational drone users and non OA / A2 holders MUST abide by the DRONECODE.

AML Air are holders of a CAA Operational Authorisation, NQE trained to A2 and GVC level, and insured.
