UAS-Services.
Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS).
Innovative solutions.
The use of Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS), also known as drones, has brought about numerous positive changes in various industries. From increased safety to advanced data analytics, drone technology has revolutionised the way we work and paved the way for many new potentials in the future.
Professionell Results.
Competent and reliable.
As an ISO-certified company, we guarantee a high standard of quality and maximum reliability. Our team of experts consists of geo-scientists, technicians and engineers who not only are experts in drone flights, but also ensure the professional provision and evaluation of the data.
Experienced pilots.
On the ground and in the air.
We offer one-stop UAS services throughout Germany, from permit planning and safety management to flight inspection and data analysis. In addition, we have operation approvals in the UAS Specific Category from the German Federal Aviation Authority, which allow us to perform flights even in locations that are difficult to access.

Training and education.
Remote pilot training.
We offer high-quality training not only to our own employees, but also to external interested parties and drone pilots. Our comprehensive training program combines theoretical knowledge of aviation regulations, meteorology, flight planning and execution with intensive practical flight training to ensure that all participants gain profound skills in handling UAS (Unmanned Aircraft System, drones).
Competent support.
Approval
procedures.
We also offer our customers and partners support in the process of approvals for UAS operations, as well as in the preparation of operations manuals (ConOps) and operations in the Specific Category (UAS.SPEC).
Remote pilot certificate A2.
Exam center for remote pilots as a named body by the Luftfahrt-Bundesamt DE.PStF.034.
As a exam center for remote pilots PStF.DE.034 approved by the German National Aviation Agengy, we take the exam for the Remote Pilot Certificate A2 at two locations (Moers and Rhine-Main area). On request, we also offer training and exams directly at the customer’s site. In addition, in the future we will also conduct and approve theoretical and practical exams for the standard scenarios STS-01 and STS-02 for fixed and rotary wing aircraft in the Specific Category.
Internal trainings.
Highly trained.
Special topics such as survey flights (geographic basics, handling of ground control points and RTK measurement), inspections (industry, cell towers, photovoltaics) and photogrammetry flights, mission planning, legal and operational basics in the Open and Specific Categories are covered by separate training courses.
Safe, efficient and flexible.
Frequently asked questions.
The official correct terms in English are “UAV” (Unmanned Aircraft Vehicle) and “UAS” (Unmanned Aircraft System), but “drones” has become colloquial but a general term. A “multicopter” describes drones with multiple rotors, the most used design.
Primary, an UAS is just a tool that is chosen for the appropriate purpose. The choice of the best drone depends on the desired functions, areas of application and also on the respective legal situation. Generally known renowned manufacturers are for example DJI, Parrot, Autel Robotics, Yuneec, Quantum and Acecore. In addition to the “flying” equipment, there are aids such as RTK GPS (Trimble R12), mobile power generators and the like.
The term “drone license”, as often mentioned, does not actually exist in Germany. Correctly speaking, there is a mandatory “Certificate of Knowledge” (A1/A3) throughout Europe (and thus also in Germany), depending on the weight and application, and a “Remote Pilot Certificate” A2 based on this. In addition, further qualification levels are planned for the future.
No. When flying UAS in Europe and especially in Germany, certain rules must be observed. These include maintaining minimum distances from airports, assemblies of people and sensitive areas, but also labeling the UAS and observing airspace regulations. In addition, data protection and personal rights must be respected. Each use of an UAS requires an individual consideration of the respective approval situation in accordance with the European Regulations (EU)2019/947, and national laws (LuftVO, esp. article 21) and other regulations.
There is no generic answer to this question. Depending on the flight location and the complexity of the mission, one or more authorities may come into play. Sometimes general approvals from the respective state aviation authority, operating approvals in the so-called Specific Category (UAS.SPEC) from the German national aviation agency (LBA) or even special licenses, such as from the German Air Traffic Control (DFS), are necessary. In special cases, for example, we have already operated in close cooperation with DFS and BMVD (Ahrtal), police or Bundeswehr squadrons or with the US Airforce at Ramstein Airbase. For an operation over the refinery site of an international corporation, we were able to successfully complete a full audit including risk assessment and emergency plans.
When it comes to the payload of a UAS, one first thinks of a camera as the “sensor” of a UAS. In fact, the intended use also determines the sensor to be used, which may be a camera, possibly as a wide-angle camera with high resolution and mechanical shutter, but perhaps also as a tele lens with high focal lengths. Depending on the application, however, it may also be a thermal imaging or IR camera that records temperatures instead of light. A multispectral camera, for example, acquires data of the near-infrared range that is invisible to humans and helps estimate plant conditions in agriculture. Laser sensors (LIDAR) provide accurate spatial coverage of areas, and gas sensors measure gas concentrations, such as methane. Magnetic field sensors help to probe magnetic flux densities in the soil.
This can be explained quite simply. As a service provider, we work predominantly for customers in sensitive areas and are subject to certain confidentiality agreements here. Customer protection is a high priority for us, which is why we maintain discretion here.
With flying hours in the four-digit range, we of course have sufficient experience in different areas:
- Areas of 170Ha a day in survey area and photogrammetry with GSD < 1cm and 17 GCP (Ground Control Points).
- 52Ha in open pit with depths of 80m for stockpile calculation (volume calculation)
Kilometers of corridor flights for photogrammetry - Steep slope flights with height differences from 80m to 120m, with constant distance of 30m above ground level (Terrain Following)
- Photovoltaic sites in the megawatt range
- Very high number of cell towers
