It has taken some time to gain our Permission for Commercial Operations or PfCO from the CAA.
The initial process was swift, with the course and guidance offered by 3iC being superb which also added 14 hours to our CPD requirements but then came the CAA bit - you pay your money and are expected to happily wait 1.5 months for a reply!
Needless to say, we lost work in the intervening period but our first contract was completed last week with very positive results, both from the client, homeowner and neighbouring property owners who were contacted as part of the CAP722 process. The aerial survey saved multiple-hundreds of pounds and was completed within days, not weeks, enabling reparation works to to progressed more quickly.
We look forward to taking to the skies over the coming months!
