Safety & compliance
Client permission to use a site is only one part of an operation. Before a flight is confirmed and again before launch, Synergy Bridge considers the applicable CAA rules, airspace and restrictions, permissions, site activity, people, obstacles, weather, privacy and the suitability of the operating category.
Every operation is reassessed before take-off. We proceed only when the airspace, site conditions, weather, people, aircraft limits and planned controls remain suitable.
Safety takes priority over schedule.
Operations are conducted by appropriately registered and competent remote pilots using aircraft and procedures selected for the site and intended operation. Required Operator and Flyer registrations are maintained, and any additional qualification or authorisation needed for the planned operation is confirmed before acceptance. Commercial insurance is maintained in accordance with the work undertaken and client requirements.
Evidence of registration, competence and insurance can be shared privately with a client where reasonably required.
Each proposed operation is reviewed against the applicable operating rules. If the planned flight cannot be conducted within the Open Category, Synergy Bridge will not proceed unless the required authorisation, permissions, competence, controls and insurance are in place.
Flights are planned around the agreed asset or site while minimising unnecessary capture of people, vehicles and neighbouring property. Project imagery is managed through controlled access, secure storage and agreed retention and sharing arrangements.
Credentials & professional standards
Synergy Bridge Intelligence combines structured flight operations, construction-aware planning and disciplined project reporting. Our registrations, qualifications, insurance and professional memberships are maintained in line with the services we undertake and the requirements of each commission.
UK Civil Aviation Authority registration
Synergy Bridge Intelligence maintains the operator registration required for the unmanned aircraft used in its operations. Aircraft are labelled and operated under the applicable registration and accountability arrangements.
UK Flyer ID requirements
Operational flights are conducted by a remote pilot holding the required UK Flyer ID and working within the applicable operating category, aircraft limitations and site-specific controls.
Valid CSCS card held
The relevant individual holds a current CSCS card supporting access to participating construction sites, subject to each principal contractor’s induction, PPE, competence and access requirements.
Aircraft identification capability
Where required for the aircraft and operation, Remote ID is configured and checked as part of the pre-flight process. Aircraft identification and location information is handled in accordance with the applicable operational requirements.
Awarded by a CAA-approved assessment provider
The A2 Certificate of Competency demonstrates additional knowledge of meteorology, unmanned aircraft performance and operational measures used to manage ground risk during eligible Near People operations.
Third-party aviation liability cover
Commercial drone operations are supported by aviation insurance appropriate to the aircraft, operating category and commissioned activity. Evidence of current cover can be supplied to clients during onboarding.
We maintain a programme of continuing professional development covering aviation regulation, construction-site awareness, flight planning, emergency procedures, data management and the production of reliable project evidence.
Tell us about the location and the site rules. We will confirm what can be planned safely before anything is agreed.
