Looking for a certified pilot around Miami

nicopter · May 9, 2017

Hi all,

A colleague of mine is looking for a certified drone photographer, for a mission in Miami, around an building.
If you know someone serious, and not crazy dealing with the price, let me know.

I don't know the average delay dealing with administrative matters in the US. The mission could take place in around 10 days.

Thanks

Probably restricted airspace. It would help those interested to respond (not I) if you can provide exact location/coordinates/address.

It is a restricted airspace: downtown Miami. There is some place around to take off in good security conditions, without flying over crowd or streets of course.
I don't know how complicated it is in US. In France it is possible but can require 15 days. I take pictures/films in the middle of big cities.

Comments as above - it will assist in assessing the logistics/complexity of the mission if you post Long/Lat of location.
People can then look at the relevant sectionals to determine viability.

Thanks for your feedback.
I will not post the exact place in a forum, I was just looking for a good local certified pilot.

But the location will determine the lead time.....
Non controlled airspace - No issue (subject to site survey and risk assessment etc
Controlled airspace - Permissions will be needed (which can be longer than 10 days!)

If you do not wish to post up the coordinates - your choice

"In France it is possible but can require 15 days. "
More like 60 days here, if you are lucky.
