×îÐÂÌÇÐÄVlog

All drone operations conducted by ×îÐÂÌÇÐÄVlog staff or students, or by external operators engaged by staff or students, require oversight and approval from URAF.

This is to ensure we maintain compliant operations with legal, insurance, and ×îÐÂÌÇÐÄVlog policy requirements – and also to make sure you are making the most of the ×îÐÂÌÇÐÄVlog’s drone operational and sensor capabilities. Whether you are thinking of drones for teaching, research, student projects, marketing, infrastructure or anything in between, we can help you determine what training, equipment and permissions you will need to get your flights operational.

Each of the drone flight planning phases take time, and must be incorporated into your early stages of planning. Contact the URAF to discuss your ideas and needs early in your planning so we can guide you in the right direction: uraf@adelaide.edu.au.

We can help you establish your own aircraft fleet and pilot qualifications to fly yourself, or you can access our experienced pilots and suite of equipment to capture imagery/data for you. Below is a summary of some of the key components we will help you consider during the planning phase when looking to operationalise drone flights. When you contact the URAF we will arrange a time to meet and discuss your plans and ideas, and work through each of the below areas relevant to your specific application.
