Choosing the right operational category for your drone project
Most professional drone shoots can be conducted under the OPEN category, allowing for efficient planning and execution. More complex projects, such as operations involving larger aircraft, flights near airports, or activities within restricted airspace, may require authorization under the SPECIFIC category.
These operations require additional preparation, documentation, and regulatory approvals before a flight can take place. As a result, planning times and operational costs may be higher than for standard OPEN category missions.
At Slipstream Drone Video, we assess every project individually and determine the appropriate operational framework to ensure a safe, compliant, and fully authorized flight.
