What’s so difficult?  Just do the right thing…..right? 

Ethics is what guides us to tell the truth, keep our promises, or help someone in need in everyday life. There is a framework of ethics built into every business, and each individual, to guide in making the “right” decision.

Back to Basics: Normal FAA Part 107 operations

Under FAA Part 107 operations it is a requirement for the Un-crewed Aircraft (UA) to be operated in a manner where the Remote Pilot in Command (RPIC) and/or a Visual Observer (VO) can maintain un-aided visual contact with the UA during flight operations.

In addition to maintaining visual contact with the UA, the RPIC and VO also can view the surrounding airspace to maintain situational awareness regarding maintaining separation and yielding to manned aviation traffic. Under these operations, the RPIC and VO are co-located and able to converse verbally without aide.

Innovation. At the core of what we do, Percheron’s teams across all integrated services are continuously looking for innovative solutions to provide the best service to our client.

Over the last few years, UAV technology has revolutionized the industries we serve. The introduction of drones has allowed Percheron’s survey team to more efficiently and accurately capture detailed data from pipelines to facility inspections, roadways to electric transmission lines, and renewable energy projects. Our state-of-the-art fleet fly lower and employ higher resolution cameras for video and images than traditional aerial options.
