Common Questions
Are you actually local?
Yes. Tri-Cities Aerial Solutions is based in Bristol, TN/VA. Most of the region is a short drive, which is why we can reschedule around weather instead of cancelling.
Are you licensed and insured?
Every flight is operated by an FAA Part 107 certificated remote pilot, and we carry commercial drone insurance. We can provide a certificate of insurance on request.
Can you fly near the airport?
In controlled airspace we request authorization through LAANC and fly within the altitude ceiling granted. Sites near Tri-Cities Airport are routine — they just need planning.
How fast can you get out there?
Scheduling is usually within a few days depending on weather, and we confirm a flight window before we come out. Send the address and what you need.
