hydrone® - Drone Service You fly. We give you peace of mind.

We assist you with registration, the classification of operations (Open / Special / Subject to Authorisation) and with obtaining the necessary permits (e.g. BVLOS (Beyond Visual Line of Sight) / STS procedures (Standard Scenarios)). We also draw up the required operational documents (risk and safety assessments, operational manuals, checklists).

We can advise you on selecting suitable aerial platforms and sensor technology, such as infrared cameras or LiDAR systems (laser scanning technology). In addition, we can assist you with supplier selection, framework agreements and warranty claims, as well as with taking out suitable liability insurance.

Our modular theory and practical training courses are tailored to your specific use cases, ranging from basic certification to BVLOS training. We continuously incorporate new regulatory requirements and technological developments into our training programmes and cover them in refresher courses.

To ensure your drones are reliably ready for use, we assist you with commissioning, software updates, and the marking and registration of the devices. We support you with the authorisation to operate in geographical zones (geo-zones). In pilot projects, we also test new technologies to assess their specific benefits for your operations.

We provide all operational documents and act as your first point of contact (FPoC). For pilots, we handle first-level support (FLS) and coordinate second- and third-level support with the manufacturers. Claims management and assistance with repairs or replacement purchases are also part of the service.

As part of the hydrone community, you’ll benefit from regular exchanges of experience, best practice and continuing professional development. Regular meetings and informal, ad hoc exchanges promote practical knowledge sharing across the network.. A central platform also brings together documentation and flight routes.

1. Initial consultation & needs analysis
2. Risk and regulatory assessment
3. Selection & procurement of suitable hardware

• Personal support across all service areas
• Two on-site visits per year (customisable)
• Provision and maintenance of flight-route library / automated flight routes
• Regular updates on regulatory changes

On request, we provide qualified pilots to fly on-site defined routes — e.g. for inspection, automated route flights or BVLOS checks. The service includes mission planning, flight route preparation, coordination with authorities (where required), data capture (photos, videos, thermography, 3D photogrammetry) and data processing.

We offer one-day training courses for individuals and teams seeking to operate drones safely, efficiently and in compliance with regulations in a professional environment – from introductory level through to advanced practical training.

For companies wishing to use drones within their organisation, we can visit your premises by arrangement. The course content is tailored to the planned applications, the technology used and the operational requirements.

The training courses can cover theory, flight planning, practical exercises, safety and risk assessments, as well as the creation of checklists and operational procedures. On request, we can conduct training directly at your sites and using your drones.
