Altitude Angel Expands Scope of Approval Services Platform to Include Property and Large Land Estates
by DRONELIFE Staff Author Ian M. Crosby
UTM (Unified Traffic Management) leader Altitude Angel has announced that its recently launched Approval Servicesplatform will likely be expanded to incorporate property and enormous land estates. Described as ‘a key step for UK aviation’ by Aviation Minister Baroness Vere, the platform will enable land and real-estate owners and managers to grant access and provides permission to drone operators to make use of the land for take-off and landing purposes.
Drone operators who’ve identified an area of land suitable to conduct their flight must determine who manages the land to start a protracted means of looking for approval. The brand new platform will allow operators to as an alternative request access to land digitally through the Drone Assist app or DroneSafetyMap.com, and can in some cases have the opportunity to receive near-instant approval. Landowners and estate managers thinking about enabling their property for drone operations can register here.
“By giving landowners, estate managers and people liable for large areas of real-estate the tools to approve drone operations from the land they manage, we’re opening latest places to fly and widening business opportunities,” said Altitude Angel COO Chris Forster. “Drone operators will have the opportunity to request permission on the touch of a button and receive a response or instruction as regards to their flight in a matter of seconds, removing the time-consuming and expensive means of looking for out a landowner or manager. The platform will reduce their administration burden, giving operators more time to do one of the best a part of the job, flying.”
Altitude Angel also released several significant upgrades to Drone Assist last May, including a feature granting a direct connection to Altitude Angel’s UTM platform, providing ‘one-tap flight authorisations’ at connected airports and facilities all over the world.
