Q:Do I have to name all operators / pilots that will use my drone on my policy?
A: No, our policy covers the named business. You are not required to name any qualified additional pilots on the policy but they must be shown in your operations log and you need to have added Operators Indemnity to your policy. The FlyCovered policy will cover commercial operators / pilots who have a valid and current Flyer ID and Operator ID, hold the competencies, permission, licence or certificate legally required to perform commercial activities and are operating the insured drone within any local rules and regulations. This includes those operating drones for commercial consideration in the open categories A1 and A3 where A2CofC, GVC or other certification may not be required. Basically as long as the insured operator / pilot is flying the insured drone within the local rules and regulations and has any relevant competencies, permission, licence and certificate legally required to perform commercial activities that are required then our policy will cover them.

Persons intending to operate Unmanned Aircraft indoors should refer to the appropriate Health and Safety at Work regulations.
