We’ve worked with Stephen and the Flyby Guys team for the last two years and they’ve shown us what’s truly possible when combining our existing work for the City of Helsinki and with drones capabilities. We’ve become a more digital organisation. We trust Flyby Guys to deliver, and they continue to meet and exceed that trust every step of the way.

Drone flights can incorporate a wide range of circumstances, and it's important that all pilots are trained with proper safety procedures to minimise risk and downtime in certain unforeseen circumstances.

We've put together a pre-flight checklist for both professional and hobbyist pilots. This is similar to the one our team uses and has been crucial for minimising any risks.

Questions?

What types of drone services do you offer?

Flyby Guys provides aerial inspections, mapping, 3D modelling, photography, videography and custom drone missions. We support asset owners, construction firms, infrastructure operators and industrial clients who need accurate and safe data collection from the air.

Which industries can benefit from your drone inspections and mapping services?

Our services support many sectors, such as telecom, construction, energy, real estate, critical infrastructure and industrial facilities. We also help organisations that need regular monitoring of large assets or remote sites.

What kinds of drones and equipment do you use?

We use a range of professional aircraft equipped with RGB cameras, thermal sensors, LiDAR units and specialist payloads when required. All equipment is chosen to match the project, so the results are accurate and reliable.

Are your pilots licensed and insured for commercial operations?

Yes. All Flyby Guys pilots hold the required certifications in the regions where they operate. We also maintain full insurance cover to protect our clients and teams during all field operations.

Can you operate internationally?

Yes. Flyby Guys teams have experience in multiple countries across Europe, Asia, the Middle East and North America. We are available for projects worldwide.

What deliverables will I receive after a drone survey or inspection?

You can receive high-resolution photos, detailed inspection reports, thermal imagery, 3D models, orthomosaic maps and video. The exact deliverables depend on the scope of your project.

How accurate is drone-based inspection and surveying?

Modern sensors allow high-precision data capture, often better than traditional manual methods. Accuracy depends on the equipment and environment, and we select the right payloads to ensure reliable results.

How fast can you complete a typical inspection or mapping project?

Many missions can be completed within a single day. Larger sites or complex assets may take longer. We always provide a clear timeline before work begins.

What are the cost and safety benefits compared to traditional inspections?

Drone inspections reduce the need for scaffolding, lifts and manual climbing. This lowers cost and minimises risk for personnel. The process is faster and provides detailed visual records that can be stored for long-term monitoring.

Can drones detect hidden issues such as cracks, leaks or thermal anomalies?

Yes. Thermal cameras, high-resolution lenses and specialist payloads can reveal problems that are not visible from the ground. Our reports highlight any anomalies we find.

How do you manage regulatory compliance and flight permissions?

Our team handles all required permits, local regulations and safety documentation. We carry out a risk assessment before each mission to ensure full compliance.

Do you offer long-term contracts or recurring inspection services?

Yes. Many clients choose ongoing monitoring packages for telecom towers, construction sites, energy assets and industrial facilities. Long-term programmes provide consistent oversight and faster issue detection.

What information do you need to prepare a quote?

We usually ask for the project location, asset type, objectives, deadlines, access considerations and any required deliverables. Our team will then provide a clear proposal based on your needs.
