Drone (UAS) sighting near Heathrow

Drones have been spotted flying near Heathrow in April 2024. Do you call the police? If you did, and they tell its nothing to worry about, then its probably Ripple Show Limited carrying out an arial survey in your area. 

Stigma

Lately, when you hear the term "drone" being thrown around you may immediately associate it with extreme terms such as 'war', 'terrorism' or even 'sabotage'. This due to the safety concerns that have been highlighted through major news channels across the globe. We like to use the term "Unmanned Aircraft System". It is more representative of the professionals who offer services as a business by leveraging the capabilities of these systems. 

What can Unmanned Aircraft Systems do? 

The possibilities are near limitless, however at the moment, the sector is heavily restricted by regulations and lack of understanding by the general public. While regulation has established the groundwork over the past 5 years, the public awareness aspect is something that still needs to be addressed properly. Nevertheless, today in the city, you can hire a "UAS" professional to conduct visual surveys of all kinds. 

Is it safe for services near Heathrow?

Absolutely! 
Prior to the establishment of regulations, one of the main issues that restricted the use of UAS was a lack of communication between the pilots and relevant parties (If we knew who that was at all). Thankfully, presently the UAS Operators and Pilots have a semi-structured approach to follow. This involves active communication taking place between, airports, local authorities, wildlife reserve management, the police, landlords and any other affected parties. Collectively, it is still a tedious process and productivity is limited by the uncertainty in turnaround times for submitted applications.

Drone fun on the Beach Front

Concession Stand opening Those of you who have heard from us in person, you may already know that we are opening up a concession stand on the Worthing beachfront over the summer of 2024. If you have not heard of it already you can consider this as an official invitation for you to join us at our exciting new venture that we have started along the Worthing beachfront.   What are we doing?
