Non Standard work is generally defined by work that falls outwith normal operating procedures. At Drone Scotland we are privileged to be one of a very small number of companies that has obtained specialist operating permissions from the CAA. Our operational safety case enables us to fly closer to uninvolved people as well as fly our drones higher and further. When operating under our OSC there are additional mitigations that we must introduce to ensure the operation is safe and legal. Therefore, pricing for such work is higher than our ‘standard’ work.

A lot of the work we undertake, for any project, includes planning and preparation as well as post production. Thus we generally work to the 1:3 ratio. For every 1 day on site, we generally deliver 2 days off site work. This includes managing/prepping the equipment, planning operations, staff briefing/debriefing, engaging with 3rd parties, data management, post production, quality control, invoicing. A 30 minute flight on site is generally about 5% of the overall work involved.
