Certified isn't a formality. It's the job.

If someone is paid to fly your property, that flight is a commercial operation, and commercial operation requires an FAA Part 107 Remote Pilot Certificate. Plenty of people with good cameras don't have one. That's your exposure, not theirs — and it's the first thing a brokerage's risk policy or a general contractor's site rules will ask about.

We're certified, the aircraft is registered, and where a property sits under controlled airspace we file for authorization before the flight instead of finding out on site.

Real estate listings

Exteriors, rooflines, lot lines, acreage, and the neighborhood context a ground photo can't reach — delivered in listing-ready sizes, fast enough to matter to a launch date.

Commercial property

Retail centers, industrial and flex space, multifamily, and land. Aerials that show access, parking, adjacency, and scale to a tenant or an investor reading from out of state.

Construction progress

Repeatable site documentation on a schedule — the same frame, month over month — for owners, GCs, and draw packages that need to show the work, not describe it.

Anyone can hand you raw clips.

The certificate makes the flight legal. What makes the footage worth buying is what happens after — over a decade in broadcast television, color that matches from shot to shot, and edits cut to hold attention instead of drifting. Most drone work looks like drone work. Yours should look like the property.

We're registered in Missouri City, the founder lives in Katy, and southwest Houston is home — so a same-week flight across Fort Bend usually isn't a scheduling problem. See the work, or read our story.

Let's talk

The jobs we don't take.

Part of being the right pilot is knowing which jobs belong to a different aircraft. We don't do thermal roof inspections, survey-grade mapping, or tower and power-line inspection — that work takes sensors and certifications we don't carry, and a yes from us would be worth exactly what it cost you. And we don't fly sustained over crowds, because the FAA prohibits it for our class of aircraft. A pilot who shrugs at that rule is showing you how he treats the rest of them.

Here's the quick test: if the deliverable is a beautiful, accurate picture of your property — a listing, a commercial site, land, a build documented month over month — we're your pilot. If the deliverable is data — measurements, heat signatures, defect reports — you need a different rig, and we'll tell you so for free. Either way you get a straight answer before you spend a dollar.

Common questions about drone work.

Are you FAA Part 107 certified?

Yes. Travis holds an FAA Part 107 Remote Pilot Certificate and the aircraft is registered with the FAA. Any drone work you pay for is commercial operation, and commercial operation legally requires that certificate — a hobby pilot flying your listing is not a licensed operator, whatever the footage looks like.

Do you fly real estate listings?

Yes — aerial stills and video for residential and commercial listings: the exterior and roofline, lot lines and acreage, amenities, and the neighborhood context a ground photo can't show. Delivered in listing-ready sizes alongside anything else we shoot that day.

Can you fly in controlled airspace near Houston airports?

Often, yes. Much of west Houston and Fort Bend County sits under controlled airspace shelves. Where a property does, we request authorization through LAANC before the flight rather than launching and hoping. Where a location can't be authorized, we tell you before you book instead of after.

What does drone coverage cost?

Every flight gets a written quote before you commit — a single listing is a different job than a construction site documented monthly, and the price should say so. A deposit holds your date; the balance is due when the finished files land, by card, Zelle, or Cash App.

Does a real estate agent need an FAA license to fly a drone for a listing?

Yes. Any flight that supports a business — including an agent photographing their own listing — is a commercial operation under FAA rules and requires a Part 107 Remote Pilot Certificate, even if nobody is paid for the flight itself. It's one of the most misunderstood rules in real estate marketing, and most brokerage risk policies already know it. Hiring a certified pilot closes that exposure for a fraction of what it costs to carry it.

Do you do drone roof inspections or thermal imaging?

No — and it's worth knowing why. Inspection work takes thermal sensors and inspection-grade reporting our aircraft doesn't carry, and we won't sell you the wrong flight. What we do photograph is how a roofline presents — as part of a listing or property shoot — which is marketing, not an inspector's certification. If you need the inspection kind, we'll tell you up front, for free.

Can you do drone mapping, surveys, or orthomosaics?

Not the survey-grade kind. Boundary lines, elevations, and measurements belong to RTK-equipped aircraft and licensed surveyors, and we won't dress a video drone up as one. What we deliver is visual documentation — construction progress on a repeatable schedule, acreage and lot context for listings, and site overviews an investor can read at a glance.

Will you fly over a crowd or an event?

Beside a crowd, yes — directly over one, no. That's the FAA's line for our aircraft, and we fly on the right side of it. The best aerials are shot from off to the side anyway. We can tell your story properly — compelling visuals, compliant measures.

What happens if the weather doesn't cooperate?

We reschedule rather than hand you footage the wind ruined. Gulf Coast weather is real — we watch the forecast ahead of your date, make the call as early as we can, and fly when conditions will let the property look its best. A listing gets one first impression; we don't spend it on a gray, gusty day.

Where do you fly?

Katy, Cinco Ranch, Fulshear, and across Fort Bend County — Sugar Land, Missouri City, Richmond, Rosenberg, and Stafford — plus greater Houston. If your property is outside that ring, ask; travel is usually workable.
