Why should I consider drone technology for my surveys?

As a surveyor it is your role to scope out what tool will suit the job best, drones are just another tool in your toolbox. The first question you should be asking yourself when a request comes in is ‘Can I use a drone for that?’. As a surveyor, you should be making recommendations that don’t compromise on data quality.
Why should I bring a drone solution in-house?

When using external drone pilots or subcontractors you’re not in charge of the quality of your data. You can be more responsive when you are collecting the data yourself. Long term it’s also much more cost-effective to bring your aerial drone solution in-house.
Do I still need a drone if I'm not doing large topographic surveys?

Yes. Drones are not a one-stop-shop used for large scale jobs they can be used for small to medium-sized survey applications too.
This sounds great, but surely it’s out of our budget?

We can provide survey-grade drones and equipment at industry leading prices. We can also provide a complete drone solution, including all the training, hardware and software you’ll need for as little as £6,000!
Can I trade-in my drone in return for a discount if I want to upgrade my hardware?

If you are interested in adding a WingtraOne to your fleet then check out our WingtraOne Trade-in Scheme. You can save up to £3,900 on a brand new WingtraOne aircraft if you trade-in your current drone.
Do I need previous experience in Surveying to work with Drones in the Survey Sector?

There are hundreds of great online webinars, courses and information on using drones for surveying so if you are wanting to access this industry it would be extremely worthwhile to invest some time in training so that you are familiar with the sector. Some of our Drone Service Providers that trained with us went on to work with Survey companies with Skill-swap contracts so the Survey Business could learn more about drone technology and the Drone Operator could learn more about Surveying.

If you are self-disciplined to learning more about the industry you are wanting to work in then you’ll know the lingo, you’ll know more about what the survey company are planning to achieve and you’ll be able to access work.
