How we work
From request to flight, in four steps
Every mission starts with a clear brief and an analysis of the flight area. That way you know from the outset what is possible, which authorisations are needed and what you will receive at the end.
Step 1
Brief and site survey
We gather objectives, location, dates and the type of output required. Where needed we carry out a preliminary site survey, included in the brief.
Step 2
Airspace and permits
We analyse the airspace and the risks of the operation and handle the necessary authorisations, including NOTAM requests and overflight permits.
Step 3
Flight execution
Certified, insured pilots carry out the mission with the right drone: DJI Mini 4 Pro for event filming, DJI Matrice 4T for thermography and inspections.
Step 4
Data delivery
You receive ready-to-use files: RAW or edited video and photos, technical reports with anomaly maps.
Inspections & thermography
The invisible becomes visible
With the DJI Matrice 4T we pair RGB photography with thermal imaging: in a single flight you can see where faults, leaks and energy waste are hiding, with no scaffolding and no plant downtime.
- Solar installations: faulty cells, strings and modules
- Roofs and coverings: leaks and standing water
- Buildings and warehouses: heat loss and thermal bridges

Frequently asked questions
Everything you need to know before the flight
Are permits needed to fly a drone over an event or in a city?
It depends on the location, the type of drone and whether people are present. That is why every mission starts with an airspace and risk analysis: we tell you which authorisations are needed and handle them on your behalf.
How far in advance should I contact you?
The sooner, the better. For flights in urban areas, near airports or over gatherings of people, obtaining authorisations can take a long time: contact us as soon as you have an indicative date and location.
Are your pilots certified and insured?
Yes. Missions are carried out by certified pilots, with third-party liability insurance covering flight operations. The head of operations, Kenneth Mazza, is an aircraft pilot holding an English-language aeronautical radiotelephony rating and a qualified drone pilot.
What do I receive at the end of the job?
It depends on the service: RAW or edited video and photos (also with live video feed), technical reports and anomaly maps for thermographic inspections.
What happens if the weather doesn't allow flying?
Safety comes first: if wind, rain or visibility do not allow it, the flight does not go ahead. In that case we agree a new date together.
Where do you operate from?
We have two operating bases: Ovada (AL) and Cava Manara (PV), between Piedmont and Lombardy. We can also operate further afield: tell us the location of the operation in the form and we will let you know how we can arrange it.
