# UAS Flight Ops
UAS Flight Ops is a specialist commercial drone operator based in Lutterworth, serving the UK film, television, and industrial sectors. The company flies both FPV and standard drone platforms for high-profile clients including Netflix, BBC, ITV, and Channel 4, alongside major production companies like Hallmark and Sky.
What distinguishes UAS Flight Ops is their exceptional regulatory status and safety credentials. They hold rare CAA permissions allowing them to operate with just 5 metres separation during take-off and landing, film at heights up to 1,000 feet and 2km from launch location, and maintain only 10 metres clearance from buildings and people outside their control—distances most operators cannot achieve. They can also film crowds of 1,000+ people with just 20 metres separation and are qualified to fly commercially in the USA.
The team's impeccable safety record has earned them preferred supplier status for BAFTA-nominated Channel 4 programme Hunted, where they've provided drone filming since its creation. They carry £10 million public liability insurance and conduct thorough risk assessments for every assignment.
Beyond aerial filming, UAS Flight Ops offers industrial inspection services, delivering detailed reports whilst reducing costs compared to traditional rope access or ground inspection teams. They also provide cable cam and ground-based filming solutions, making them a comprehensive aerial production partner for businesses and broadcasters seeking premium quality with proven expertise.
