FAA Part 107 certification.
Every pilot flying for SVA holds a current FAA Part 107 Remote Pilot Certificate. Recurrent training is completed on the cadence required by the FAA, not on an "as-needed" basis. Certificates available on request.
We operate under a documented safety management system aligned with FAA guidance and industry best practices. Paperwork, airspace coordination, insurance, and privacy handling are our problem — not yours. Here's what that looks like.

The Denver Metro sits under Class B airspace and a dense patchwork of local rules. We handle the paperwork so missions fly on time and compliantly.
Every mission passes through a written risk assessment before anyone launches. The assessment is a document, not a mental check — it stays on file and is shared with the client on request.
Visual line of sight, altitude limits, no-fly zones, and geofenced safety buffers for event perimeters are maintained on every mission. The boundaries aren't preferences — they're limits we don't cross without a COA or waiver that specifically permits it.
Commercial UAS liability coverage is maintained on every flight. Certificates of insurance — with your organization added as an additional insured for the duration of the engagement — are available on request as part of standard contracting.
Footage captured on your engagement is your footage. We don't repurpose it, publish it, or retain it beyond the terms we agree to in writing.
Yes, with the appropriate LAANC authorization or COA. Most Denver Metro controlled airspace missions are approved under LAANC in near-real-time. We handle the filing — you don't need to touch the FAA.
We reschedule. Our reschedule policy is documented in the engagement agreement — there are no surprise weather-day fees. Wind limits, visibility minimums, and precipitation thresholds are mission-specific and set in writing before the first flight.
Operations over people, at night, or BVLOS require specific Part 107 waivers or a COA. Where the mission requires it and it's feasible, we file for the appropriate authorization. Where it isn't, we recommend an alternative approach that accomplishes the same goal within standard operational limits.
Yes to both. We maintain commercial UAS liability coverage and routinely add client organizations as additional insured for the duration of the engagement. Certificates are provided as part of standard contracting.
Retention is set per engagement. Default is the minimum needed to deliver and support the work plus a short correction window. Sensitive footage can be held in secured archives rather than general storage on request, and deletion can be scheduled and confirmed in writing.
No. Stadiums under active TFRs, wildfire TFRs, and emergency TFRs are absolute no-fly zones for us. If a TFR appears after a mission is already scheduled, we reschedule. This is non-negotiable.
Want to see our Part 107 certificates, proof of insurance, or our operations plan template before you contract? Ask. We'd rather answer the hard questions up front.
