Regulation

We hold the permission we help you obtain.

We went through it first

We hold a UK SORA authorisation for cleaning operations with our own PowerWash system, obtained in January 2026 on our own account and at our own cost, before offering to take clients through the same process for their own drones.

We have also held a CAA Operational Authorisation continuously since 2014.

That matters for three reasons.

It proves the equipment can be approved by the CAA for use in the United Kingdom, rather than in principle or in another country.

It means we learned the process at our expense rather than yours, including the standard of evidence the CAA expects and the questions it asks.

And it means we hold a lawful route to operate. Where a client’s own permission is still pending, cover can sometimes be arranged.

The first client authorisations

The first client Operational Authorisation for the C10 has been granted, in the client's own name and obtained with our support. Two further applications with the same parameters are at final assessment and expected to follow. All cleared the technical stage, which is where most applications stall.

We will publish each outcome as it is confirmed.

Before you start

An application is quickest and least expensive when the scope is set correctly at the outset. The equipment, the work you intend to do and the permission you need are one decision, not three, and getting them right first time avoids repeating the process.
