Three-Drone Operation
Our Most Popular Service

Fireworks from
every angle.

We deploy three drones simultaneously for fireworks events — capturing wide establishing shots, mid-range burst photography and close-up detail with full live stereo sound. The result is footage that ground-level cameras simply cannot replicate.

Every fireworks deployment includes a pre-event site visit, NOTAM filing via DroneAssist, and advance notification to your local police force. Residents are informed ahead of time — reducing calls and ensuring a smooth operation for everyone.

Your event's
control room.

For sports events, Skyline deploys the DJI Matrice — a professional-grade platform capable of feeding a live aerial signal directly into your event's own control system. Whether you need HDMI or wireless output, we integrate seamlessly with your existing production setup.

Coordinated alongside two police forces for a Premier League match, this capability has been tested at the highest level. From local club days to major fixtures, the aerial perspective adds a broadcast dimension that sets your event apart.

📡
Direct feed output — HDMI or wireless to your existing control system. No additional hardware required on your side.

Safety First

Professional from
day one.

Every Skyline event deployment follows a strict pre-flight process. Here's exactly what that looks like.

01
In-Person Pre-Flight Assessment
We meet your event coordinators in person before the day to walk through the full flight plan, discuss key moments and confirm all safe operating zones. We don't just show up and fly.
02
NOTAM & Police Notification
Your flight plan is filed via DroneAssist and visible at least one week before the event — often much sooner. We contact your local police force in advance as standard. Both Bedfordshire and Northamptonshire Police are consistently supportive of our approach.
03
30m Sterile Safety Zone
A sterile 30-metre safety area is established around all flight operations in line with CAA regulations — coned off, hazard taped and signed with public-facing CAUTION DRONES OPERATING boards so we have complete focus during flight operations.
04
Resident & Community Notice
We ask event organisers to pre-warn local residents via social media ahead of the event. A simple post reduces unnecessary concerns and keeps the community informed rather than surprised.
05
Operational Authorisation
All flights operate under CAA Operational Authorisation (OA). Our A2 CofC and GVC-certified pilots carry full documentation on site and are prepared for any compliance check on the day.
06
£10M Public Liability Insurance
Every deployment is covered by £10M public liability insurance. Venue insurance teams, event organisers and local authorities have consistently found our documentation to be in order before we've even been asked.

"The entire business is built on safety first. We go to lengths that most operators simply don't — because when you're flying above the public, there is no other acceptable standard."

Neil — Founder, Skyline Drone Services

Questions

Everything you need
to know.

Yes — completely. We file a NOTAM via DroneAssist for every event and contact your local police force in advance as standard. We also carry CAA Operational Authorisation and full flight documentation on site. You don't need to manage any of that.

A NOTAM (Notice to Airmen) is an official notification filed with the CAA to make other airspace users aware of drone operations in a specific area. It's visible to pilots, air traffic control and emergency services. Filing one is a mark of a professional operator — it protects you, us and everyone in the vicinity.

For larger events we recommend at least 4–6 weeks in advance to allow time for the pre-flight site visit, NOTAM filing and police notification. For smaller private events, a fortnight is usually sufficient. Summer dates and bonfire night fireworks fill very quickly — get in touch early to secure your date.

We monitor conditions closely in the days leading up to your event. Drones cannot fly safely in high winds or heavy rain, so if conditions are unsuitable we will contact you as early as possible to discuss options. For events with fixed dates (bonfire night, public shows), we plan weather contingency into the brief at the outset.

Yes — using the DJI Matrice, we can feed a live aerial signal directly into your event's control system via HDMI or wireless output. This is particularly popular for sports fixtures, speedway events and large outdoor shows. Please mention this requirement when enquiring so we can confirm equipment and logistics.

We're based in Northamptonshire and cover the Midlands and surrounding counties within Zone 1 pricing. Events outside this area are welcome — a travel supplement is added transparently to your quote based on actual distance. We never absorb travel costs into a vague "from" price.
