Who is Recon Aerial?
Recon Aerial is a small team of dedicated individuals that have been creating amazing content and delivering on complex mapping and engineering projects for 10 years. We only use Transport Canada approved Advanced Operations pilots and fly only the latest 922 Assured/approved drones. We carry both 5 million CGL and 5 million aviation liability to ensure our clients are covered. With 1000’s of missions flown we’ve maintained a spotless safety record.
Our speciality is planning and executing complex drone flight operations in high risk environments. When you come to us with your project and we say yes, it’s not because we “think” we can do it, it’s because we’ve probably already done it before. If we haven’t, we have the experience to get creative and make it happen.
Looking for stunning visuals? Yes, that’s what we do! We capture breathtaking 5.1K+ aerial footage for an project. Don’t take our word for it, check out our work!
Need Inspections? Yes, we also specialize in drone inspections for critical infrastructure like wind turbines, solar infrastructure, building facades, bridges, dams, and more. We provide high-resolution imaging data used to evaluate damage and/or inefficiencies.
Construction Sites? Yes, we offer Ai-based project monitoring through Openspace, progress tracking and monitoring and even 3D modelling if needed.
Mapping and Surveying? “Yes, our mapping and surveying projects provide highly accurate, survey grade AutoCAD deliverables that fit seamlessly into engineering and architectural work processes.
Exceeding Expectations, One Client at a Time!

How Do We Work?
Drone Project Scoping
GETTING A PROJECT STARTED RIGHT MAKES ALL THE DIFFERENCE
We ask the right questions about what you want to achieve, how you will use the media/data, who will use it, who will see it, what digital platforms will be used, and more.
We do this to properly scope and price what’s needed. In nearly every case we add value by suggesting changes and providing multiple price point options.
Once we have nailed down the basics we plan and rework as needed prior to flight execution in order to ensure the deliverable is exactly what our clients need or better!
Before getting started, we follow a series of regular steps. Each project includes; an advanced operations RPAS pilot, a visual observer (if needed), a pre-mission compliance review, risk analysis and control measures, airspace review per the DHA, a site survey & flight plan, and more.
Drone Project Delivery
CONDUCTING A SAFE, EFFICIENT DRONE OPERATION IS CRUCIAL
Once we have completed the steps to scope and plan the drone project we shift into operations mode.
With our project plan in place, we more closely examine how to conduct the drone flights, including; drone and sensor selection, airspace and air traffic pattern, safe launch and recovery sites, site security, secondary landing sites, flight paths, pilot experience, pilot/visual observer positions, separation distances, communications with aerodromes as required, and more.
In every case, drone services pricing and drone operations include; setup, flight execution, teardown, administration, flight logging, RPAS maintenance, drone liability insurance, data management, and project closeout tasks/administration.
Our #1 goal in every operation is to “get the shot” with the least amount of flying possible in order to limit risk.
